WALK THE WALK.
SUPPORT HEART & STROKE RESEARCH.
It’s
that time of year again. Join the
American Heart Association and have a heart by taking a walk on Saturday,
February 27, at Tempe Beach Park, at the Start! Phoenix Heart Walk, sponsored
by Health Net of Arizona.
This
fun, 5K and one mile, family fitness event energizes the Valley to step-up in
the fight against heart disease and stroke. The event is sponsored in part by Clear Channel radio and KEZ’s Marty Manning and
more than 15-thousand walkers will be on hand to help eliminate
cardiovascular disease!
Money
raised helps to fund life-saving research and community education programs
supported by the American Heart Association. After the walk, the Wellness Village will be in full-swing,
packed with heart-health activities, presentations, screenings, games, a live
band and celebrity appearances.
SURVIVORS
. . . THE HEART BEHIND THE WALK.
Heart
disease and stroke survivors are a very important part of the Heart Walk
and one-mile Stroke Walk. All heart disease survivors are recognized with a red cap,
and all stroke survivors with a white cap. “In tribute to” stickers are also available for participants
walking in celebration of a survivor or in memory of a loved one lost to heart
disease or stroke. So mark your
calendars!
