Getting outside and spending time on a walk is always nice. But walking isn’t just for your health, it can also show that you’re an active member of our community.

Chrissy Meyer is the Region Senior Marketing and Communications Director for the American Heart Association, and Madison Olafson is with Security National Bank, he’s also a Heart-Walk Leadership Team-Member.

They’ve got the details on this year’s Heart Walk, and they stopped by our KELOLAND LIVING studio to fill us in on why this year’s event will not only boost your heart health AND mental health, it’s also a great way to help millions of others at the same time.
