More than an event, the Start! Heart Walk is an experience.

The event brings the Triangle community together to raise funds to fight the nation’s top killers -- heart disease and stroke.

In addition to the 1 or 2.5 mile walk,  the Create Hope, Inspire Change, and Celebrate Success areas will:

• Pay tribute to lost loved ones

• Honor survivors of heart disease and stroke

• Encourage behavior changes in adults and children like increasing physical activity and making heart-healthy choices part of daily life

• Highlight the successful fund-raising efforts of individuals and companies

• Celebrate individuals and companies who have made significant changes to lead a heart-healthy life
