(Fargo, ND) -- The American Heart Association, the leading voluntary health organization focused on heart and brain health for all, is inviting Fargo-Moorhead back to its premier event to boost physical and mental health through healthy habits while supporting the lifesaving mission.

On Thursday, August 4th at 5:00 p.m, FM-area Heart Walk participants and teams are invited to Urban Plains Park to celebrate heart and stroke survivors, raise lifesaving funds and encourage physical activity. This year’s theme, Heart Walk Here, invites participants to walk on the event path or to create a path of their own. From parks and parkways to tucked away trails, participants are invited to Heart Walk at any location that inspires their heart health.

The Fargo Heart Walk is the signature event of the American Heart Association’s Heart Challenge program which is designed to help companies positively impact employee overall health and wellbeing. The program is anchored in a series of customizable workplace events that inspires employees to be more engaged, reconnect with colleagues, get in their physical activity, support a great cause and have a lot of fun doing it.

The funds raised from the Fargo Heart Walk go towards research, advocacy, CPR training and to promote better health in support of the Association’s 2024 Health Equity Impact Goal, reducing barriers to health care access and quality.
