Our Passion for the Heart Walk
We’re passionate about the Heart Walk. Why? Because the AHA is a generous sponsor of important cardiovascular research right here at BIDMC and other local institutions. Boston area researchers received more than $33 million in 2009. We’re grateful to the AHA for helping to create a healthier future for our patients, their loved ones and our own families.
The Heart Walk Will Make You Happy
The Heart Walk will make you happy! Besides the satisfaction of raising funds for a healthy cause, you can enjoy a morning of moderate exercise, snacks, giveaways, music and fun kids’ activities. Walk options are one, three and six miles around the beautiful Charles River Esplanade. Bring your family, friends and pets!
