The Start! Heart Walk is the American Heart Association's premiere event that brings communities together to raise funds and celebrate progress in the fight against this country's No. 1 and No. 3 killers, heart diseases and stroke.

Heart Walk creates an environment that's fun and rewarding for the entire family. This year, more than one million walkers will participate in nearly 350 events.
