As the American Heart Association’s signature fund-raising event, the Start! Heart Walk promotes physical activity and heart-healthy living in a fun, family environment. This year more than 1 million walkers will participate in some 500 events, raising funds to save lives from this country’s No. 1 and No. 3 killers — heart disease and stroke.

The Start! Heart Walk experience includes:

• Creating a community among participants
• Instilling passion for reducing disability and death from cardiovascular diseases and stroke
• Generating excitement for a new or renewed commitment to heart-healthy living

Companies all across the country are walking and working to save lives. Learn more
