The 2012 Springfield Heart Walk at Southwind Park on Saturday, May 5th is our "mission in action."

Through the Heart Walk, we create opportunities for people to improve their health by walking and simultaneously raise funds to help fight heart disease and stroke.

Walkers can organize teams at the companies where they work or with family and friends.
Walkers ask others to support their walk effort by sponsoring them with a donation to the American Heart Association.
The Heart Walk is a wellness event that encourages healthy lifestyle choices.

It's easier than ever to support the American Heart Association.

Hope that current and future generations will be healthier because participants have committed to heart health today! Many participants are heart disease and stroke survivors; others walk in honor or memory of a friend or family member who has or had heart disease or stroke.
