Meet a few of Canada's heart heroes

(NC)—In 2006, Becel (www.becel.ca) went on a mission to find Canadians who love their hearts and are helping to spread the word about heart love and heart health. Here are just a few of the hundreds of Heart Felt stories we received. A love that inspires Heart heroes: Rose and Al Sarkany Seeing a jogger happily running in the rain made my wife Rose stop and think – and start walking. Daily. Her walks turned to runs, and soon I couldn't help noticing that Rose was losing weight, eating healthier and feeling great. So I began following in her footsteps, literally. Together, we've lost over 100 pounds and are now running 10K races and half-marathons. All it took was one small step, and each other, to put our lives on a new path to health. Giants come in all sizes Heart hero: Aidan Meilleur-Wilson To a four-year-old, life is full of wonder. But for us, it's our son Aidan who amazes. Born with multiple congenital heart defects, Aidan hasn't let this stop him from enjoying a full and active life. When he's not out exploring his world, Aidan is showing other families in hospitals how normal the life of a child like him can be. It's no wonder Aidan is a little giant in the hearts of those who know him. Every cloud has a silver lining Heart hero: Mitch Ramsay After Mitch's husband was left disabled by a severe stroke, she decided to strike back. Motivated to make a difference, Mitch began volunteering with Heart Healthy Kids, educating children about healthy eating, physical exercise and the importance of not smoking. You don't need to ask Mitch about the rewards of volunteering. You simply have to look at the smiles on the faces of the children she teaches – and on her own. Eighty-two and going strong Heart hero: Eddie Gudbranson At 82 years old, my dad continues to be our role model for heart healthy living. Twenty-five years ago, he had a quadruple bypass operation and since then he hasn't missed a beat. He exercises, follows doctors' orders, watches his diet and serves as a beacon of positive attitude and stamina for everyone he meets. This past Remembrance Day, we spent the day watching him walk straight and tall with his comrades – our hearts bursting with pride. Credit: www.newscanada.com
