The American Heart Association announced that the 2013 Heart Walk will be relocating to downtown Toledo and will be held at Fifth Third Field on May 11, 2013. The decision to move the event, which annually draws more than 4,000 people, was based on desire to hold the event in a more central location that would attract more companies and involve their employees in the Heart Walk.
“Toledo is the fifth least heart friendly city in the nation,” said Christine Colvin, Heart Walk Director for the American Heart Association, Northwest Ohio Division. “We would like to engage new companies in our wellness initiatives and give them incentives to help make Toledo a healthier place to live.”
The 2013 Heart Walk Chair is Andy Maher of Waterford Bank N.A. Gates will open at 8:00 am. Companies, organizations and individuals are encouraged to sign up now to participate. All participating companies will benefit from wellness programs offered year round at no cost.
Heart Walk is sponsored nationally by Subway and Jenny Craig. Call Christine Colvin at 419-740-6172 or log on to www.heart.org/toledowalk.
