More than an event, the Start! Heart Walk is an experience.

In addition to the 1- or 3-mile walk, the Create Hope, Inspire Change and Celebrate Success areas will:

• Pay tribute to lost loved ones;
• Honor survivors of heart disease and stroke;
• Encourage behavior changes in adults and children like increasing physical activity and making heart-healthy choices part of daily life;
• Highlight the successful fundraising efforts of individuals and companies;
• Celebrate individuals and companies who have made significant changes to lead a heart-healthy life.

Together as a community, we raised more than $450,000 for the 2009 Heart Walk and had approximately 4,000 people in attendance, fighting heart disease and stroke and exercising their hearts.
