Heart Walk planners optimistic about weather, participation By Jeffrey Bushke FOR THE NEWS-MINER
The Fairbanks chapter of the American Heart Association is busy planning the 2014 Heart Walk that will begin at 9 a.m. May 17. “What sets this walk apart and makes it fun is the entertainment stops along the way,” said Janet Bartels, Executive Director of the American Heart Association in Fairbanks. “We offer team photos, free blood pressure checks, free heart healthy lunches, the opportunity for friends
and families to walk together, and a special prize of Alaska Airline tickets.” The co-chairs for the 2014 Heart Walk, Lorna Shaw and Anna Atchison, expect the event to raise $250,000, a slight increase from what was raised in 2013. It is expected there will be 3,000 participants supporting the American Heart Association in this annual event. The walking courses are either 1 mile or 2 1/2 miles. Both courses start and end at Veterans HEART WALK » 6
