Local charity walk makes strides against heart disease
The 2012 Heart Walk will be held Saturday, September 22, at Metropolitan Park.
Heart disease and strokes represent the number 1 and number 4 health threats to American men and women, and the 2012 Heart Walk will raise money to support critical research, as well as education and community programs to help combat these devastating diseases.
The community-wide event is composed of corporate walk teams, friends and family teams, individual walkers, as well as “lifestyle heroes”, those who have made positive changes to reduce heart disease and stroke risk factors and those who are survivors of the diseases. “Last year the walk raised more than $940,000 and we are striving to go above $1 million in 2012,” said Dave Josserand, 2012 Heart Walk Co-Chair and Chief Strategic Officer, Dalton Agency. “I can’t think of a more important goal than to raise money to fund this valuable research.” For further information about this year’s walk, call (904) 256-5721 or visit www.firstcoastheartwalk.org.
