Help Deb make her goal!

Calling all of my blog friends! My sister is walking in the Heart Walk for Houston on November 7th. Some may know she had and greatfully out grown Vasovagal Syncope

Vasovagal syncope is the most common cause of fainting. It occurs when your body reacts in an exaggerated way to such triggers as the sight of blood or extreme emotional distress. The trigger results in a sudden drop in your heart rate and blood pressure, which reduces blood flow to your brain and causes you to briefly lose consciousness.

But since before she was in her teens she has dealt with this and once they figured out this is what she had the required her to go to a heart doctor which she will still have to do once a year to get a check.

Also she knows that I have a irregular heartbeat and now we have found out that Tim is also having issues with his heart so this is something that is close to her.

So when they decided at work to make a big deal about this walk she thought she would do it also to help raise money.

She has a small goal of $300 and has raise $50 so far (not counting what I will be giving her). So I thought I would put out a blog to see if I could get her a little help. If you think you could give a little it would be greatly appreciated!
