Virtual Love Locks for American Heart Association by MasterLock! + Giveaway!

I'm not sure a lot of you are aware, but MasterLock is doing a giveaway where you can win a trip to Paris! Not only that, but you can join their website to send a virtual lock to your loved ones - For every lock sent MasterLock is donating $1.00 for every lock sent to the American Heart Association. Why is this important to me?

I was diagnosed with SVT (Supraventricular Tachycardia) when I was 4 years old. It's a condition where your heart rate is super fast! I was on medication for it until age 16 when I went and had an SVT ablation where they go in and burn the wires in your heart because what caused mine was that I had extra wiring in my heart that caused it to beat irregularly. Unfortunately, I developed 'Sick Sinus Syndrome' from the ablation as well as contracted a virus in my heart which lead me to get 'Heart Block' so I have a cardiac pacemaker - I at 19 was told on the table id have to have a pacemaker the day I went in for just a heart cath. That was not the news I wanted to hear and I was very scared, but I came through it okay. 

However my success wasn't complete because my Father when I was 4 years old as well was diagnosed with Cardiomyopathy with an ejection fracture of 14% He was only given a year to live. Thanks to God, Doctors, and Prayers he's still with me today, but still on a lot of medication. His ejection fracture had went up a lot of doctors didn't know why? When he told his Dr. that he believed God had helped him through it his doctor said that was the only explanation he believed as well which is rare to hear a doctor say. My father win in last year to get a Cath and his heart is still not perfect and I still worry about him because he's like me when he tries to stay in shape he goes at everything full force without stopping! 

The American Heart Association is near and dear to my heart - the fact that MasterLock is donating $10,000 to begin with and then a $1.00 for every virtual lock sent really touches my heart as 'punny' as that sounds!
