Meet Antonio

Antonio is proud of his Italian heritage, characterized by strong family ties, traditions and values. However, his family’s heritage is also marked by heart disease.

Antonio shares, “I had a grandmother that died of congestive heart failure, and a father that needed a valve replacement. I don't want to follow in their footsteps. This is why I run.”

A father himself now, he understands more fully the importance of taking care of his own health. “I run to keep my heart pumping. I run so that my little girls can have their daddy a little longer.”
