Throughout the year, our blog will feature AHA volunteer stories of survival and hope. We know there are thousands of stories like these - thats why we want to say “Thanks” to all of you for giving your time and sharing your lives with us. You can’t spell CURE without U! Thank you for all you do to build healthier lives free of cardiovascular disease and stroke. YOU’RE THE CURE!

Special Partnership with Chicago Park District

Here's something worth doing....

Please save the date for National Start! Walking Day on April 16th!

Through Aetna, one of AHA's local Chicago Start! sponsors, we have been able to form a partnership with the Chicago Park District for this year's event. On National Start! Walking Day, they will be encouraging their park patrons to join the Start! movement and walk on their Start! designated walking paths.

We are looking for AHA volunteers to stop by one of the parks listed below to thank the park managers and let them know that we are glad they are partnering with us for this day. Please reply back to this email if you are able to stop by one park location on April 16th.
