We are writers, editors, marketers, communicators, innovators, thought-leaders, designers and so much more. The hats we wear change on a daily basis. The strength in our words, stories and imagery impacts those around us. We are a relentless force. Now imagine how much stronger we would be working as a team to raise money for the American Heart Association.
While there's been monumental advances in research and preventative care, heart disease is still the #1 killer and stroke ranks #5 in our nation.
The Central Ohio Heart Walk is a time of celebration, joy, and inspiration. It's also an event where people work together to support one single goal - to create a world free of heart disease and stroke.
This year, as we celebrate the Centennial of the American Heart Assocation (Happy 100th birthday!!), we will move into our second century with Bold Hearts focused on the work ahead while celebrating our lifesaving history with those who have made it possible. This relentless pursuit will continue until heart disease and stroke no longer exist.
In the slightly altered lyrics of Meghan Trainor, let's be "all about that pace, 'bout that pace, no stumbles. We're all about that pace, 'bout that pace, no stumbles..." ;)
I described some of the hats we wear above, but we can be more for this cause. Be a relentless force. Be a supporter of critical research. Be a lifesaver. Be a part of an unstoppable team. Join "It's all about that Pace" now and walk to save lives.
