About HCM & Maier's Story and Hearts of Commerce

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common genetic cardiac disorder; 1 in 250 Americans (approximately 1.3 million) are at risk for HCM. In HCM, the heart muscle thickens, forcing the heart to contract more vigorously, impairing relaxation, and stiffening the walls. 

I am fundraising for the Bighearted 5K, to support the HCMA as the pre-eminent 501c3 organization improving the lives of those with thick heart muscle disorders, preventing untimely deaths, and advancing global understanding.

In 2022 - I was diagnosed with Obstructive HCM - and I had been suffering the symptoms for TWENTY YEARS! At the conclusion of the year I had elective open-heart surgery to try and repair the obstruction. While it was not successful, through a novel medication - specifically for obstructive HCM, I was able to effectively treat my symptoms, and can now live a fuller life!

None of this would have happened for me without the HCMA and their tireless efforts over the last 29 years to create centers for excellence and so many important programs and legislative changes to help HCM patients. 

Through my journey I learned that I am in fact one of the luckier members of the big-hearted community.. HCM has a risk of sudden cardiac arrest- and so many people only learn of this disease after a loved one has passed away. There have been so many stories and people that I have been able to connect with, which has enlightened me to the bigger picture - that awareness and screening saves lives.

I am dedicating both Hearts of Commerce and this fundraiser to benefitting the HCMA - and raising awareness about HCM within the ecommerce community.

Help me keep families whole and advance the fight against HCM!
