A walk in the park to improve your heart

By Mathew Taillon

The heart is the strongest muscle in the human body.

Those interested in helping others who have heart problems can be a part of the DeKalb County Heart Walk, sponsored by the American Heart Association.

Bob Staniszewski, the chairman of this year’s walk, and his AG Communications Systems team will be leading the walk this Sunday.

The walk will take place at 1 p.m., following noon registration at the DeKalb Park District Sports and Recreation Center, 1765 S. Fourth St.

The public is invited to attend and register to participate in the walk.

Although walking is encouraged, it isn’t required to participate in the day’s activities.

Donations can be contributed and and raffles will be held, with prizes contributed by local businesses.

For information, call Sharon Emanuelson, Kishwaukee Community Hospital Community Relations Director, at 756-1521, Ext. 3420.
