Why an Awareness Walk Matters

An awareness walk is more than just a physical activity—it’s a powerful way to educate, inspire, and unite a community. By participating in the 5K Health & Wellness Walk, attendees take a stand for heart health and commit to a lifestyle of wellness. The event raises visibility around the importance of prevention, encourages healthy habits, and reminds those affected by heart disease that they are not alone. Together, we walk to learn, support, and spark positive change—one step at a time.
