The Le Mars YMCA and Floyd Valley Healthcare are teaming up tomorrow morning to host Walk for Heart, aiming to bring awareness to heart health. Jacque Perez, the CEO of the Le Mars YMCA, told KLEM the event started out of a partnership between the Y and the cardiac rehab program at Floyd Valley.
The walk is held in conjunction with National Wear Red Day, and is free and open to the public. The event features interactive heart-health stations, fun drop-in demos, and mini movement sessions. Visitors can also discover and be screened for potential heart-health risk factors. Perez says she hopes the event accomplishes two goals.
Perez says the walk aligns with the goals of both Floyd Valley and the Y.
Walk for Heart will take place at the Le Mars YMCA tomorrow morning, running from 11am until 1pm.
