Idaho Heart & Stroke Walk

The walk will take place Saturday, May 20 at Kleiner Park in Meridian

BOISE, Idaho — Join your friends, family and co-workers for Idaho’s Heart and Stroke Walk. The walk is a community-building, heart-healthy event that raises awareness of heart risks and raises funds for research. Heart disease and stroke are the leading killers of both men and women in the U.S., and these conditions are largely preventable.
