Throughout the year, our blog will feature AHA volunteer stories of survival and hope. We know there are thousands of stories like these - thats why we want to say “Thanks” to all of you for giving your time and sharing your lives with us. You can’t spell CURE without U! Thank you for all you do to build healthier lives free of cardiovascular disease and stroke. YOU’RE THE CURE!

Lots is going on with advocacy this week!

While a couple dozen advocates from Illinois are in Washington DC getting ready for our National Lobby Day tomorrow, U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky (IL -9) stops by our Chicago office today for a round-table discussion about health reform and the needs of people with disabilities. Since stroke is one of the top causes of permanent disability, we're delighted Congresswoman Schakowsky is taking the time to be here in person! Like I said, lots going on this week!
