Start! Heart Walk this Sunday

May

Once again this year — this Sunday, in fact — Rockland Community College will host the American Heart Association’s Start! Heart Walk, an event that is expected to draw about 3,000 participants from Rockland, Bergen and Passiac counties.

The event begins with a program of speakers at 10:30 — including Rich Henning of Park Ridge N.J., who survived a heart attack at 43, and Audrey Liguanti of Spring Valley relating her 16-year-old son’s battle with cardiovascular disease.

The Walk itself kicks off at 11 a.m.

There will be a “Kids Zone,” with face painting, clowns and an inflatable “moon bounce.”

Blood pressure screenings and healthy cooking demonstrations will be among the highlights for adults.
