A heartfelt thank you to Brett Kast WXYZ for emceeing yesterday's Washtenaw County Heart and Stroke Walk & 5K and to WXYZ Detroit for the event coverage. Check out the heartwarming video of one of our survivors crossing the finish line!

We had a blast at today's Washtenaw Heart Walk! It was a day to celebrate research, honor survivors, and remember those we have lost to heart disease and stroke. A huge thank you to all our sponsors, volunteers and supporters who helped make today possible.

Southeast Michigan Community Impact team members were at the Durfee Innovation Society demonstrating Infant CPR (in both English and Spanish!) and sharing CPR Anytime kits. There were over 200 people, including expecting mothers, teens and caregivers, who learned Infant CPR!

Our Washtenaw County Heart and Stroke Walk & 5K is in just 3 days! We're excited to welcome Brett Kast WXYZ from WXYZ Detroit as this year's emcee. We hope you'll join us this Sunday! Visit spr.ly/6016jOcLO to register or make a donation.

Congratulations to the 2024 Stroke Hero Award Winners! #StrokeHeroAwards #StrokeMonth
