Washington DC Metro / Northern Virginia OHS Valvers

[SB42]

Hi all,

Today is my 16 week anniversary and I am doing / feeling great with my new tissue valve. Back on the treadmill walking / jogging and hitting the weights once again.

I have joined forces with the American Heart Association - Greater Washington Region as a volunteer. I am planning on putting together a team for the annual Heart Walk in November and wanted to see if anyone in the area would like to participate with me. There is also the Lawyers 10K run / fun walk on June 9 that I may get involved with.

Please let me know if you would like to join me in creating awareness and supporting the AHA!

Best regards,

Scott

I am in! It would be great to walk/jog with fellow valvers.

Not to hijack this thread, but anyone in the area, a BIG bunch of us are meeting up at the Baltimore marathon (running the 5k, or half, or on a relay team). We have some cardiac athletes coming from India and Australia this year! Let me know if you want any information....if you don't want to run ,at least come and meet up with us at dinner....talk is fun!
