Team Sweethearts was established in 2011 by co-workers Shawnya Williams and Sandy Williams. What started as a shared last name quickly became a shared purpose — both of us had lost our grandmothers to heart disease.

Heart disease remains the number one killer of women, and stroke continues to impact families across our communities. For us, this cause is deeply personal. We walk to honor the loved ones we’ve lost, to support those still fighting, and to help raise awareness so fewer families experience this loss.

Now in our 15th year, Team Sweethearts continues to show up year after year for the Atlanta Heart Walk — educating, fundraising, and walking with purpose.

As the Coach of Team Sweethearts, I’m proud to lead a team committed to showing up year after year for this cause.

The Heart Walk is a time of celebration, inspiration, and community, all working toward one goal: a world free of heart disease and stroke.

There are many ways to support Team Sweethearts:

• Make a donation (any amount truly helps)

• Walk with us

• Join our team and fundraise

• Share our mission with others
