WHY:               The non-competitive, three-mile walk raises funds to support heart disease and stroke research and educational programs in the Greater New Orleans area.
 
                        Brisk walking for as little as 30 minutes a day has proven health benefits, such as providing increased energy and circulation, as well as reduced risk of heart disease. The Heart Walk is designed to help participants understand this critical message, join with others and generate a renewed commitment to heart-healthy living through walking.
