LEWISTON — The 19th annual Central Maine Heart Walk will take place on Sunday, Sept. 10, in Lewiston and Auburn to benefit the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. The event draws more than 1,000 walkers, who together raised more than $130,000 last year.
This year’s chairman is Shawn Reed, Great Falls Marketing’s vice president of call center development and performance.
“The Heart Walk is a great way to gather employees, families and friends to celebrate good heart health,” he said in a news release. “But, it’s so much more than a walk. It’s a way to support lifesaving medical research and to make our community healthier through education and learning how to prevent heart disease and stroke by living a healthier lifestyle.”
The event will have a new kick-off location, Simard-Payne Park in Lewiston. From there, walkers will embark on either a 1-mile or 3-mile walk along the L/A Trails Riverwalk. The event also includes a 5k fun run and Kids Heart Challenge obstacle course, designed for kids ages 5 to 12. There will be music, water and snacks at the start and end of the walk. Children will enjoy a heart-healthy jump roping, face painting and other activities in the Kids Zone.
