Thomas Rouen was a father, grandfather, artist and runner who passed away in 2015 from congestive heart failure. As my grandfather he is my role model, which is why I want to follow in his footsteps as a runner and raise money in his name for the American Heart Association with your help and by participating in the National Women’s Half Marathon with the AHA acting as their official charity partner. Please help me in my goal to assist AHA in fighting and preventing heart problems that take away so much from us and our families.
