American Heart Association Heart Walk. Daryl Rakosy and Alison Joyce.
Daryl is the Heart Walk Director and Alison is the Heart Walk's Administrative Associate. This year's Heart Walk is going to be held Saturday, June 2 at 9:00 AM at the Lake Metroparks Farmpark in Kirtland. The event will include health screenings, entertainment, and healthy snacks to go along with the one or three mile walk option. There is also a one or three mile walk option for participants with dogs. There is no registration fee for the event as participants are encouraged to donate what they can. Every $1 raised at the event returns $2 back to Northeast Ohio. They are looking for teams of 10-15 fundraisers (although individual participants are gladly accepted). The average team member raises about $250 and the average team brings in around $1,500 total. The goal of this year's Heart Walk event is to raise $185,000 and so far they have already brought in $98,000. Please contact Daryl Rakosy for more information at 216-619-5154 or daryl.rakosy@heart.org. You can also visit their website at www.heartwalk.kintera.org/lakegeaugacountiesoh.
