The Georgia Regents University College of Education will host a team for the 2014 CSRA Heart Walk on Saturday, March 8 at The Greeneway in North Augusta, S.C.
The CSRA Heart Walk is an annual non-competitive walking event designed to bring public awareness to physical activity and a heart-healthy lifestyle, while at the same time raise the critical dollars needed to fund the life-saving mission of the American Heart Association. Volunteers are needed to join the team and help the American Heart Association reach its 2014 goal of $425,000. Last year, teams from GRU raised $75,000.
Heart disease and stroke are the nation’s No. 1 and No. 4 causes of death. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in Georgia, accounting for one-third of deaths in the state. It is the second-leading cause of death in South Carolina, behind only cancer, and accounts for almost one-third of all deaths in that state, too. Bring your family, friends and even your dogs and walk for our hearts!
