As the leading cause of death in the United States, cardiovascular disease has likely been a threat to you or a loved one. That’s why Borgess Health has teamed up with the American Heart Association to sponsor the 2008 Southwestern Michigan Start! Heart Walk.
On February 16, walkers across southwest Michigan are encouraged to meet at Wings Stadium from 8:30 a.m. to noon to take the first steps in fighting cardiovascular disease. Walkers are encouraged to organize teams of coworkers, friends or family members and are asked to raise both awareness and funds by collecting donations for the American Heart Association.
The Start! Heart Walk provides an opportunity to create hope, inspire change and celebrate success in fighting heart disease and stroke. Hope is created as participants walk as survivors of cardiovascular disease or in memory of loved ones lost to the disease. Change is inspired as some participants take their first steps towards a leading a healthier lifestyle and reducing their risk of heart disease and stroke. Success is celebrated as funds are raised to support life-saving research, educational programs and widespread awareness.
