Introduction	Hi There, I my name is Rick (Damaged Heart) and I have decided to Race 500 Miles in this year of 2014 with a goal to raise $7,500.00 for the Heart & Stroke Foundation. In 2008, the day after Father's Day, I had a Widow Maker Heart Attack. I was 42, 289lbs couldn't walk that far and was walking with a right dropped foot and a cane. After Rehab at Toronto Rehab Cardiac, they taught me to walk loose the weight and set goals. Early in 2009, I set a goal in rehab to just Finish a half marathon walking. Since then I have been doing 5k, 10k, ½'s and full marathons. This is the year that my goal is going to be a HUGH ONE. Race 500 Miles in the year of 2014. I have been training for this feat and it will all start on February 9th with a Valentine's 5K in Burlington. This will all be to raise $7,500.00 at least, for the Heart & Stroke Foundation. There are many things I willl be doing through out the year and I will keep you posted as I go.
