Morgantown Heart Walk raises $90K to fight heart disease in West Virginia
MORGANTOWN, (WBOY) — On Sunday morning, the American Heart Association held its annual Heart Walk in Morgantown, raising more than $90K for West Virginia patients facing heart disease and other heart-related health problems. Held at the Mylan Park Aquatics Center track, hundreds of walkers (and several pets) gathered to raise money for and raise awareness of heart disease, the leading cause of death in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Lauren Thomas, the Development Director for the American Heart Association in the Morgantown area, told 12 News that making people aware of things they can do to reduce their risk of heart disease and stroke is an important step to reducing those numbers. 'Today is all about bringing awareness to heart health and heart disease. It's the number one killer of Americans, and stroke is the number five killer of Americans,' Thomas said. 'It's all about how we can prevent that from happening, and also celebrating our survivors that it has happened to, and honoring those that we've lost.' Mon Health Disease Management Specialist Chris Hedio said that common symptoms of heart disease can range from tiredness, lethargy, higher blood pressure or a higher risk of stroke. However, even if you are diagnosed with heart disease, there are several simple things a person can do to reduce the severity of future health issues. WATCH: Mama bear and cubs spotted in Bridgeport backyard 'Some people with heart disease have the misconception that once they're diagnosed that they can't do anything to help treat it or help reverse it on their own and that they have to go to a doctor, they have to have surgery or some type of procedure, when really, a lot of times if you just excercise more, eat right, follow what your doctor is telling you to do, you can live a very long time without any issue,' Hedio said. As of this publication, the Greater Morgantown Area Heart Walk has raised $90,830, with the goal of raising $110,000.
