2014 Midlands Heart Walk was held on March 22nd, organized
by the American Heart Association with their mission: Building healthier lives,
free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke.
The vacant lot on Greene Street near Colonial Life Arena was
dotted with booths set up by sponsors around the perimeter - Blue Cross Blue
Shield (always there at every event in the city), SCANA, Bi-Lo, Subway, Pepsi
and Palmetto Health to name a few.
On this beautiful spring morning, there were thousands ready
to walk for health - their own and to honor someone they loved. Children,
toddlers in strollers, old and young. And dogs… some decked out in bandanas and
happy to be outdoors. What enthusiasm!
Starting at Greene Street, the river of people and dogs streamed down
to Gervais Street, over the Gervais Street bridge into West Columbia, hung
left on State Street, another left on Knots Abbott Drive, over the Blossom
Street bridge and back to the starting point – a 3.3 mile walk. Along the route,
volunteers handed out water and bananas.
How wonderful to be a part of this movement (pun intended)!
