ROCK FROM THE HEART
Mission Statement
Rock from the Heart was born from a vision of hope and determination as Pete lay in his hospital bed prior to surgery. Faced with a life-altering aortic disease diagnosis, he and his wife, Amy, found strength in their love for each other and their shared passion for music. Amid uncertainty and fear, the couple envisioned a way to bring awareness to aortic health and support others on similar journeys. This vision grew into Rock from the Heart, a nonprofit organization that combines the power of music with a mission to educate and inspire. Today, Rock from the Heart hosts events that raise awareness about heart disease, provide resources for patients and families, and culminates in an annual benefit concert where they rock from the heart. Their story shows how a spark of hope in the darkest of times can ignite a movement that touches countless lives. Rock from the Heart's mission is to proactively educate people about aortic and heart valve disease, bridge the gap between impacted families and the support they need, connect those diagnosed with vital resources, and inspire all through the healing power of music.
