You can register online to take part in the event with friends, family or even co-workers. The goal is to raise $105,000 dollars. At the time of writing, about $32,000 has been raised. Let's get the word out and help this incredible cause!

If you can't take part in the walk, you can also take part by being a volunteer. Each year, the event needs volunteers and that is a different way you can help the cause. The Northland Heart Walk will also have drinks, education and free family entertainment. You will also have the chance to hear inspirational stories.
