Volunteers needed for National Start! Walking Day!

We are in need of volunteers on Wednesday, April 8th to turn our National Start! Walking Day route GREEN! The route is from Union Station to the Thompson Center via Adams and LaSalle Streets. We would be looking for your help from 11:30am-12:30pm to stand on LaSalle St. with green Start! balloons and wearing green Start! shirts lining the route.

Volunteers should meet at the AHA office building 208 S. LaSalle at 11am for instructions and to pick up your Start! Green T-shirt.

After the walk, join us at the National Start! Walking Day rally at the Thompson Center for mini workouts with the NBC-5 fitness team, music, giveaways and more!

Please contact Traci.Bruce@heart.org to sign up! Visit http://mystartonline.org/ to find out how you can start walking in your community!
