2012 Greater Baltimore Heart Walk

About the Event

The American Heart Association Greater Baltimore Heart Walk is an event organized to raise funds to fight the nation’s No. 1 and No. 3 killers—heart disease and stroke. In addition to the 3 mile walk through Rash Field, the Create Hope, Inspire Change and Celebrate Success villages:

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 fundraising efforts of individuals and companies;
Celebrate individuals and companies who have made significant changes to lead a heart-healthy life.

Come join us at the Greater Baltimore Heart Walk to celebrate life and raise funds for the heart disease and stroke research and community education.
