I'm writing to invite you to join our team, the Clot Busters, for the AHA Heart Walk on Sunday June 13. This great community event raises awareness of the importance of physical activity in improving health. Attendees participate in teams, there are exhibits and contests, then a relatively short walk around the UVM campus. Moreover and most importantly, the event raises money for AHA, an organization that is committed to supporting medical research in cardiovascular medicine. Many of us have had AHA funding (I received my first grant from AHA) along the way, and participating in the Heart Walk is one way you can give back and show your pride in what you have accomplished in your research life.

Please take the link below to join us! I'm hoping we can convene a team to raise lots of enthusiasm for this effort! I think that UVM and FAHC have been under-represented at this event in some years, and it will be nice for us to have a presence there as well.

Best,

Mary
