Charities

Start!
Is the American Heart Association’s campaign to get America
walking! Cardiovascular disease is our nation’s #1 killer
and physical inactivity significantly increases the risk of heart
disease and stroke, yet 70% of Americans don’t get enough
exercise, blaming lack of time and lack of motivation. Through Start!,
the AHA is challenging communities and organizations to create a
culture of physical activity.
Participation is easy and fun and Start! provides a step-by-step
guide to kick off your company’s program. Through Start!,
community and corporate leaders can show that they have made health
a priority and encourage employees to do the same, resulting in
an increase in productivity and improved health.
