Heart Filled Day

Valentine’s Day has gained a reputation for being about chocolates, flowers, and a slap in the face reminder to the single people. At one point the day must have had a lot more meaning. The story of St. Valentine does pack quite an inspirational punch and I encourage you to look it up. Even though the day can feel fairly meaningless, for most of us it is still fun to buy into it and enjoy a sugar high. This year I tried something new to add a bit more meaning to it, as a bonus to the #FebFocus2019. Participants posted a heart shaped creatively and tagged it with the photo challenge. Every heart that was posted J. Morris Athletic Therapy donated $5 to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. It is exciting to announce that with the help of everyone who joined the fun, and others like the Women’s Initiative Founding Partner who stepped up to pitch in, we were able to contribute $500 to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Even though Valentine’s Day has become less meaningful, it was fun to use the theme to give back and concentrate on helping others gain healthy hearts. Thanks so much to everyone who contributed and helped make this possible :)
