Last year I lost my mother to heart disease. Losing a loved one is never easy, but to cope with my loss I dug myself into work and charity. Being able to tell a loved one about the risk and symptoms of heart disease is vital to their life. I feel educating others about the risk and providing prevention awareness about heart disease is key to health survival.
