Heart Walk to Put Freeze on Cardiac Disease

Community members are encouraged to do something good for their hearts by participating in the “Keepin’ It Cool Heart Walk.” Hosted by The Foundation for Firelands Regional Medical Center and benefiting the Heart & Vascular Institute at Firelands, this one-mile outdoor walk/run will be held on Saturday, Feb. 26 at Kalahari Resort. 
Registration will begin at 9:30 a.m. and the fun run/walk will begin at 10 a.m.

Adults and children of all ages are encouraged to participate – including friendly dogs. Participants can also choose to walk in tribute or in honor of a loved one.
Cardiovascular diseases are America’s No. 1 killer. Walking for as little as 30 minutes each day can help reduce the risk of heart disease by helping to control blood pressure and weight, improve cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of diabetes. The “Keepin’ It Cool Heart Walk” encourages community members to form a team or sign up as an individual and secure pledges to help put the freeze on cardiac disease.
