Walking to the Beat of Footsteps


On Saturday, Sept. 27 families, friends, teammates, and survivors gathered in Liberty Square in Charleston, S.C. to participate in the Lowcountry's 2014 Heart Walk. Sponsored by the American Heart Association, this three-mile walk is held to raise money and awareness for those who have survived, suffered, or even lost his/her life to cardiovascular disease.

The donations go toward providing the highest research for doctors to utilize to become one step closer to finding the prevention for this No. 1 killer of Americans. The funds also aid in providing information for those who are unaware of the significance this disease plays in our daily lives. 

In opening ceremonies, an American Heart Association representative recognized some of the largest donors who, he stated, "help raise funds to further research in our community." Donations are still being accepted through Nov. 7, 2014 from the Charleston walk.
