The American Heart Association’s Rutherford Heart Walk and Fun Run will take place at Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital this Saturday, September 14, 2013. This all-ages event is free and open to the entire community. Fundraising is highly encouraged. Teams can sign up and set fundraising goals at www.rutherfordheartwalk.org. There is no registration fee.

The annual event is a major fundraiser for the American Heart Association, and funds go to help vital research, public health programs and community education about the no. 1 and No. 4 killers of Americans, heart disease and stroke. This year’s fundraising goal is $100,000. 

The non-competitive Fun Run starts at 8:25 a.m., and the Walk start time is at 8:30. After the Walk, a festival will take place from 9 to 11, featuring family-friendly interactive games, music, displays and activities (and Fido on a leash is welcome!).
