I am again taking part in the American Heart Association's Red Ball this fall, on Friday, November 15 at Stage 48 in Manhattan. 

I'm sharing my story today hoping you'll join me in support the AHA by attending the Red Ball or by making a direct donation. 

At the age of 31, I suffered a severe and sudden stroke.  There were no warning signs.  I woke up in the middle of the night, dizzy and confused.  I didn't go to the hospital for almost 24 hours.  That could have been a costly mistake. 

I spent one week in the ICU at NYU Langone, another 7 days in the stroke unit, and 5 days in the rehab wing.  Given the magnitude of my stroke, I was incredibly fortunate to fully recover and have no lasting effects.  

But then lightning struck again.  In 2015, I discovered that I had an aortic aneurysm.  Once again, I showed none of the typical warning signs.  This time I underwent successful open heart surgery at Mt. Sinai to replace a portion of my aorta.  

Now I am one of the rare young people that have survived both a stroke and open heart surgery.  

Heart disease and stroke are the #1 and #5 killers in America.  The AHA saves and improves countless lives through funding research & technology advancements, education, and emergency care, all of which your contributions make possible.  

You can use the links at the top of this page to make a donation or buy tickets to the Red Ball.
