Northeast Alabama Heart Walk

Heart disease is the #1 killer of Americans and stroke is the #4 killer, meaning these diseases will, unfortunately, have an impact on many in our community. The American Heart Association (AHA) is focused on educating as many people as possible on the signs and symptoms of heart disease and stroke, as well as ways they can be prevented. One of the ways the AHA does this is through the Northeast Alabama Heart Walk which takes place in October each year. The 2013 Heart Walk will take place on Saturday, October 19th. Location TBD. Festivities begin at 8:00 a.m. and include music, refreshments, kid zone with toys and games, health screenings and healthy living information, a dedicated survivor area, 3 mile walk and much more. The Heart Walk allows the AHA to work in companies and the community to educate, as well as raise life-saving awareness and funds, and we hope to see you there!
