Heart Walk

In August of 2016, I attended the Central Ohio Heart Walk, an event hosted by the American Heart Association dedicated to raising funds and awareness for various heart diseases. Pictured here is the T-shirt we wore for the walk. It was an incredibly moving event. It was so inspiring the thousands of people gathered; whether because they knew someone with a heart disease, they were inflicted themselves, or they just wanted to make a dirence. There was a strong sense of community the whole time, with children playing, people walking and people laughing (and occasionally crying) together. This event clearly demonstrated how when a community comes together for a good cause, and their hearts beats one,  it is capable of making a change, and a big one. This is especially impactful to me because I have found a passion to committing myself to service and ending injustice in this world one step at a time. And I believe the best way to accomplish this is by coming together.
