Temecula Heart Walk celebrates 4th year at Lake Skinner May 3

The American Heart Association invites the community to form
a team and join the Temecula Valley Heart Walk at Lake Skinner in Winchester.
The annual 5k, sponsored nationally by Subway and locally by Abbott Vascular,
aims to raise $150,000 for the fight against heart disease and stroke – the
nation’s No. 1 and No. 4 killers. The Heart Walk also aims to build healthier
lives by promoting healthy habits, such as walking, as a regular part of life.



The day’s main events include a non-competitive 5K walk (3.1
miles) and one-mile Survivor Path. There will also be a Health and Wellness
Expo offering health screenings, Survivor Lounge, Kids Zone featuring
interactive games and heart-health information, VIP tent for sponsors and top
fundraisers and local entertainment.





There is no fee to participate; participants are encouraged
to help raise funds. Walkers are eligible to receive a free Heart Walk t-shirt
when they raise $100 or more.
