Join us on Thursday, September 17th in Oakland or Sunday, September 20th in Danville for our 17th annual East Bay Start! Heart Walk.
The Start! Heart Walk emphasizes the importance of walking as a heart healthy exercise, while raising awareness of heart disease and stroke—the number one and number three killers of women and men.
Walk for every parent, grandparent, daughter or son taken too soon and for the millions of Americans of all ages whose lives are instantly and profoundly changed by heart disease and stroke. Change tomorrow, today!
Since 1924 the American Heart Association has helped protect people of all ages and ethnicities from the ravages of heart disease and stroke. These diseases, the Nation's No.1 and No.3 killers, claim more than 910,000 American lives a year. The association invested more than $543 million in fiscal year 2005-06 for research, professional and public education, and advocacy so people across America can live stronger, longer lives.
Thanks to all our walkers, donors and volunteers who have accepted the challenge to help fight heart disease and stroke. We cannot achieve our mission without each one of you!
