Walk to Save Lives with the American Heart Association at Tesoro Viejo
On Saturday, September 28, lace up your walking shoes for the American Heart Association’s 2024 Central Valley Heart and Stroke Walk with host sponsor Tesoro Viejo, planned community in Madera. This annual event brings together friends, family and coworkers from across the Central Valley, all participating in support of the American Heart Association’s lifesaving research to end heart disease and stroke, which remain the No. 1 and No. 5 killers in the United States.
The walk begins at 9 a.m. outside the Tesoro Viejo Welcome Center (4150 Town Center Blvd | Madera, CA), with check-in and a pre-walk program kicking off at 8 a.m. The route is 5K, with a one-mile survivor route. Heart and stroke survivors will be celebrated during the event with capes, hats and a dedicated lane at the walk finish line.
Register for free at CentralValleyHeartWalk.org to gain access to event day updates, fundraising tools and the Move More Activity Challenge. Funds raised help the American Heart Association champion better health outcomes for all, such as improving heart disease and stroke detection and treatment technologies, developing science-backed guidelines to improve the quality of care loved ones receive in hospitals, and uncovering CPR techniques to help bystanders save a life.
