I Came Back After Two Heart & Aerial Fillatures

by Donald Henry Gibson
(Pine Hall, N.C.)

Here is the reason I started walking. I was overweight and a lazy good for nothing. Then I had my first heart attack, and another on the way to the hospital. After that, I started walking every day and have loved every minute of it. That was about 16 years ago.

This year I had another spell with my heart. I was out walking as usual and my heart starting beating in a bad way. I couldn't breathe and couldn't find my pulse. But in three weeks I was back on course with my walking routine. I also work out at the YMCA three times a week.

I still love every minute I walk!

Your dedication and determination to maintain good health is inspirational! Walking helped me beat off the onset of diabetes and has helped reduce my high blood pressure to the point that I might soon be off medication for good!
