For Heart helps students think about their own lives and promotes strong values. Students are proud when they realize that what they are doing can help save lives in their own communities. It makes the event very meaningful to students, their families, and the community. We make sure to launch the program by inviting someone to speak who does medical research or uses it, such as a scientist or doctor. We also invite stroke survivors who can talk about how the advances in heart disease and stroke prevention and treatment have helped them.
