More than 40,000 Houstonians will participate in the Heart & Stroke Walk this November in support of the American Heart Association's fight against heart disease and stroke. The walk will feature family fun and physical fitness to promote walking as a part of a healthy lifestyle while raising funds to support cardiovascular research and educational programs for the American Heart Association. Heart disease and stroke - the nation's No. 1 and No. 5 killers - and all other cardiovascular diseases, claim more than 797,000 American lives a year. To participate in the annual event, walkers can register online by visiting www.houstonheartwalk.org or by calling 832-918-4030. There is no registration fee, but donations are appreciated. Fundraisers who secure a minimum of $100 will receive a free event T-shirt. Walk as part of a company team or form your own team with family and friends.
