Proceeds are donated to the American Heart-Stroke Association for education and research on heart disease and stroke, in memory of the late Ann Louise Mignoni Mundy, a dearly beloved, amazingly kind, gentle, and devoted wife, mother, sister, aunt, and grandmother to Rachel Ann.
Her authentically kind soul and elegant manner endeared her to all who were fortunate enough to have known her.

“It’s the people at the event who make the event. Good cause. Good group of people. A lot of fun!” added Donnie.
John V. Mundy expressed his heartfelt comments.
“I appreciate this effort to help people having any type of heart illness. It is most appropriate to be in my late wife, Ann’s name as she was very helpful to people in her life. Everyone who knew her would attest to that,” he said.
Deaths from heart disease and stroke have declined slightly, yet both diseases remain among the leading causes of death in the USA documented by new federal statistics. The increase in death rates among younger Americans may be explained in part by the earlier onset of high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and other conditions that may then lead to heart disease and stroke.

Heart disease and stroke risks may be prevented by changing behaviors, access to healthcare, and management of high blood pressure and diabetes, and other risk factors.
The AHA mission is to build healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke.
P.S. There is no such thing as just a little heart attack.
