Heart Walk attracting thousands to Falls Park

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - The American Heart Association recommends walking thirty minutes a day for top heart health.

Chrissy Meyer says it makes sense that the Association’s signature event is the Heart Walk Saturday at Falls Park.

The Heart Walk includes education about heart disease and stroke for the whole family, including Hands-Only CPR training.  Survivors will speak about their first-hand struggles, fighting for their lives.

There will be a Health Festival before and after the walk.  More than 3,000 folks are expected and over 50 volunteers.              

Thre free Heart Walk festivities start at eight Saturday morning and the walk, a one or three mile path, starts at nine.
