February is HEART MONTH! So for episode 87, we talk about a cause that is near and dear to our hearts... heart disease. Heart disease has affected family members of all three pirates, and we are not alone. Heart disease is the number one cause of death for both men and women in America, and one person dies from heart disease every 33 seconds.
