Heart Walk 2005

The Leon County Young Democrats are proud to annouce their participation in the 2005 Heart Walk in support of the American Heart Association. Every man, woman, and child is at risk from heart disease and stroke, America's No. 1 and No. 3 killers. The American Heart Association is working to prevent, treat, and defeat these devastating diseases by funding new breakthroughs in research, increasing people's knowledge and power over their health, and advocationg for healthier communities. The Heart Walk is the AHA's main public fundraiser for the year.

The 2005 Heart Walk will be held on Saturday, September 24, 2005 at Southwood. We will be meeting at 8:30 am. We need at least 8 team members (more are fine), so if you would like to be part of our team, you will need to:

1. Respond to this post or contact me directly.
2. Click on the link above to register at the Heart Walk 2005 website. To join the Leon County Young Democrats team, just start at "Register Here" on the home page and follow the directions from there. Don't worry, it's easy and pretty self-explanatory.

Our team goal for fundraising is $800, meaning each individual's goal will be about $100. To accomplish this goal, you can either send friends and family an e-mail from the Heart Walk 2005 website which allows them to contribute directly to your individual goal online, or you can collect cash and checks with a collection envelope you can get from me. I recommend a minimum donation of $5 per person.

Everyone who participates will get a t-shirt, but I am STRONGLY suggesting that we all wear our new LCYD t-shirts during the walk. If you do not have one yet and would like to participate in the Heart Walk, please contact me about purchasing one. Don't worry if you think you won't be able to raise your individual goal...just join our team and collect as much as you can. You can contact me at cwfetrow@yahoo.com or at 322-8356.

Hope to see lots of YD's at the event!
