Southern California Chapter
Steps Up for Heart Health
Members of NARBW SoCal walked in memory of their beloved chapter member Ilyssa DeCasperis, marking the first anniversary of her passing due to heart disease. As part of the Metrolink team in the American Heart Association LA Heart Walk, the chapter honored her legacy with action, awareness, and heart.
Leading up to the event, members participated in weekly wellness challenges to boost engagement and fundraising. Each challenge earned entries into prize drawings—one for local members and one for national participants. The chapter raised nearly $700 toward the $8,700 total contributed by Metrolink.
“This journey is more than just steps—it’s a tribute to her memory and a commitment to heart health.”
– Shamonda Jones, Chapter President
