Virtual Dallas Heart Walk – Sept. 11, 2021
In keeping health and safety at the top of mind, the 2021 Dallas Heart Walk will be virtual this year! Because the American Heart Association represents a population at significant risk for devastating outcomes as a result of COVID-19, UT Southwestern would like to challenge you to support their mission: to be a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives.
Register to get started. Then, on Saturday, Sept. 11, watch WFAA (Channel 8) at 9 a.m. for the official Heart Walk Kickoff special (to help get you pumped up). Then, get moving! You can walk one to three miles in the comfort of your home or anywhere in your community. You can also bike, swim, dance, or color.
Wait… color?
Yep. We’ve created two very cool coloring pages – one for adults, and another geared toward kids. Color them solo or with your family – just put your creative stamp on it. Email them in to Employee Wellness and we’ll pick our favorites to share in Today@UTSW.
