Everyone knows someone affected by heart disease or stroke. For those we love, Ava and I will be walking in this year’s Start! Heart Walk, of which Medtronic is one of the corporate sponsors. I'm happy to report that Ava and I have already raised $625! -- critical dollars which will be used for heart disease and stroke research and education.

Your donation will help fight our nation’s No. 1 and No. 3 killers—heart disease and stroke. We will be making the 3 mile trek on Saturday, April 26th at Harriet Island in St. Paul. Hopefully the weather will be nice!
Here's a little background on Medtronic's impact on the treatment of heart disease and other diseases:
For more than 50 years, Medtronic has focused on developing solutions for people with heart disease, starting with the invention of the first external battery-powered pacemaker in 1957.
Today, Medtronic is the global leader in medical technology - alleviating pain, restoring health and extending life for millions of people around the world. This continues to include people with heart disease and a variety of cardiovascular conditions. Medtronic develops and manufactures a wide range of products and therapies with emphasis on providing a complete continuum of care to diagnose, prevent and monitor chronic conditions. Every five seconds, somewhere in the world, a person's life is saved or improved by a Medtronic product or therapy.
