What is Tour de Heart?
Tour de Heart Mission Statement:
There isn’t enough hope or inspiration for people living with heart conditions. I created Tour de Heart to change that—to show what’s possible when we have the right tools, data, and support to manage our heart health. My goal is to give visibility to the many individuals who are living extraordinary lives with heart issues, and to ensure that patient voices play a meaningful role in medical device innovation.
People often ask how I reclaimed an active life after eight pacemakers, heart failure, and open-heart surgery. The truth is, it begins with a simple decision: choosing a goal and committing to it. For me, that meant selecting bike races I could train for—events with a clear finish line where I could measure progress, resilience, and success. Each race grew bigger. Each finish line reminded me that I am stronger than my diagnosis. I am not a victim of heart disease. I am proof that determination, data, and heart can power an extraordinary life.
