This year, the American Heart Walk will be held at the University of Albany, on Saturday, September 25. More than 2,600 lives are lost each day from heart disease. The American Heart Walk is a collaborative event for a very good cause. Area schools and industries come together to participate, by selecting company leaders who form teams of walkers and supporters. The American Heart Association provides speakers for meetings, and materials including posters, brochures and walker envelopes.
Walkers also become eligible for additional prizes.
