Community Heart Health Event: Heart of Jesse Legacy Walk & Run

This event is in honor of American Heart Month, a time to raise awareness about heart health and encourage healthy living in our community.
Heart disease remains a leading cause of death worldwide.

The Heart of Jesse Foundation is dedicated to promoting life, wellness, and healthy living through education, research, coaching, and counseling. We also provide support and education for healthy families through adoption programs and heart health initiatives.
