Imagine the impact if we reduce death and disability from cardiovascular diseases and stroke by 20% by 2020! Wellpower is joining the American Heart Association’s Heart Walk to promote physical activity to build healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke. We invite you to kick off the fall semester in a healthy way by joining Wellpower at this walk. Show your support for heart health at SMU!
Event information: The walk is a 3-mile, non-competitive walk. We will meet at Victory Plaza, walk through downtown Dallas, and end at Victory Park. Wear good walking shoes, dress comfortably, and bring a bottle of water. Wear your most recent Wellpower tshirt. We have a few tshirts left, so if you don’t have one, first sign up for the team using the link below and then email us at wellpower@smu.edu with your size preference. T-shirts will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
There is no charge to participate in the Heart Walk. Donations to the Heart Association are welcome, but are not required to be a member of the SMU team. The Wellpower program for the fall is being developed now! We will give some type of credit in the new program for participating in the Heart Walk. Stay tuned for details.
