The Heart Walk is the American Heart Association's premiere event for raising funds to save lives from the #1 cause of death in the United States, heart disease. Join the walk on Sat., Sept. 7 at Lock 3 in downtown Akron at 200 S. Main St, Akron, OH 44308. Lock 3 is an outdoor park in the heart of downtown Akron, family and pet-friendly, and surrounded by great eateries to enjoy cool refreshments or lunch afterwards. 两性色午夜 faculty, staff, students, friends, family and community members are invited to join our team, KSU Faculty/Staff Walkers, or create their own KSU Heart Walk team.
A Fun Day for All
