Jody and Kathy Victor aren’t new to doing good works for their
community, but they wanted to do even more. When they saw a local
university was holding a Heart Walk for the
American Heart Association in September, it seemed like a great
opportunity to contribute. Jody also knew someone who had suffered a
debilitating stroke, and this was an opportunity to provide some
extra support. Thus was born a very successful first Heart Walk for
MarkerMan Productions, team
MMP, and 48 IBOs and family.
The event was one of many Health Walks held across the country on
September 20. More than 3,000 walkers gathered at
Kent State University Stark
Campus near Canton at the track and field center for a 2 mile
trek to raise money for research on heart disease and strokes.
Walkers invited friends and family to join them or donate to the
cause. MarkerMan Productions went even further, sponsoring the water
station and donating 50 cases of Perfect Empowered Water, providing
T-shirts for their team, and bringing in

thanks to his
Nike commercial
on YouTube. Bryant, who is also an IBO, walked in the event
and jumped over an automobile an amazing 37 times, while holding a
bottle of Perfect Water. All told, the Victors’ group brought in
more than $7,300 for the American Heart Association.
“I dedicated my walk to Dave K, who used to work in Business Conduct
and Rules,” says Jody, who had worked with Dave through
Amway Global. He took it
personally and wanted to do something in Dave’s name to support
research on strokes and their life-changing effects. In the end, he
did much more than that, inspiring a team, an organization, and a
community.
