Get pumped for the 2008 American Heart Association Boston Heart Walk, Saturday, Sept. 13, at the Hatch Shell on the Charles River Esplanade. BWH once again is stepping up for this annual fundraiser to support cardiovascular research, advocacy and education.
The hospital’s goal is to raise $50,000 and recruit more than 200 walkers. BWHers already are assembling teams and beginning their fundraising.
Elizabeth Eagan-Bengston, RN, assistant nurse manager of Shapiro 9 and 10, is the BWH captain this year. Joining her as co-chairs are Lisa Preston, RN, clinical educator for Shapiro 9 and 10, and Stacey Miller, CHES, community benefits coordinator of Faulkner Hospital.
“We encourage everyone to gather your colleagues, friends and family and come out for the walk,” said Eagan-Bengston. “It’s a fun day for us, and it’s all in the name of a cause dear to our hearts.”
The American Heart Association has raised millions of research dollars for Boston hospitals. Of these, BWH has received the most funding.
