Raising Awareness: American Heart Association 2011 Heart Walk
by NativeRemedies on March 23rd, 2011 at 7:00 am
Heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases are the nation’s #1 and #3 killers claiming more than 865,000 American lives a year. Thankfully, The American Heart Association, the largest voluntary health organization, works hard year after year to prevent, treat and defeat heart related diseases.
This year we were honored to be a part of The American Heart Association’s 5K Heart Walk on Saturday March 19th!
Not only are we fortunate to have supporters like you, we are also astounded by all the enthusiasts who showed up to walk that morning. This particular event raised $ 584,257, with a portion of the proceeds helping to educate Americans and raise awareness about heart disease.
Check out some of the photos we took from the Heart Walk!
