Welcome to the Start! Virtual Heart Walk! We're excited that you're willing to raise funds for the American Heart Association and have chosen the Start! Virtual Heart Walk to accomplish this goal.
What is the Start! Virtual Heart Walk?
Start! Virtual Heart Walk is connected to the Start! Heart Walk, the AHA's premier fund-raising event. Start! Heart Walks help individuals improve their health while raising funds to help fight cardiovascular disease and stroke.
Start! Heart Walks do not occur in every town and city across America. But it's important to the AHA that all Americans have an opportunity to participate in the Start! Heart Walk in some way. That's why we created the Start! Virtual Heart Walk tool.
If there is not a local Start! Heart Walk near you, the Start! Virtual Heart Walk is a great alternative. It's an easy and fun way to make a difference by raising funds for American Heart Association and you can do it easily online.
The Start! Virtual Heart Walk is about:
-
Creating Hope by raising awareness of heart disease and stroke among your family members and friends and sharing your support of American Heart Association with them.
-
Inspiring Change by asking your family members and friends to make changes in their lives to become healthier and join you in raising funds for the American Heart Association.
-
Celebrating Success by inviting your family members and friends to come together to celebrate the healthy lifestyle changes made and the money raised for the American Heart Association.
