Rock from the Heart 2023
Rock from the Heart
Pete and Amy Johnson formed Rock from the Heart after Pete was diagnosed with an aortic aneurysm and aortic valve disease, and they struggled to find consistent information on the disease.
“We love rock music, and music brings people together. We decided a great way to raise awareness would be to have a benefit concert,” Pete and Amy said. “Awareness is key to survival. Rock from the Heart events help bring the condition to the forefront.”
Rock from the Heart has been using music to inspire and bring hope to families affected by aortic disease since 2019.
Rock from the Heart’s mission is to support families from diagnosis to recovery, connecting them with resources and information that is often hard to find. Through concerts and education events, Rock from the Heart uses music to inspire and provide hope to people affected by aortic disease.
