Chuck Langlois Raising Funds for Heart Walk

By  | 

 

    Central’s Chuck Langlois, a stroke survivor, is fundraising to support the American Heart Association's Heart Walk!  The funds raised are needed for critical cardiovascular disease research and education.
    Chuck has set a goal of $2000 for the Heart Walk that is happening on April 13th at the LSU Old Front Nine.  By visiting http://capitalareaheartwalk.kintera.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=1025234&supid=348145153, you can go to Chuck’s personal fundraising page to make a secure, tax-deductible online donation. Please click "Give Now," when you visit the page. If you prefer, you can also give a donation directly to Chuck.
    Here's how you can help fight heart disease:
-$25 gives 50 people educational materials that teach them how to personally reduce their risk of heart diseases and stroke.
-$50 delivers the message of healthy nutrition to elementary school students through lesson plans and activity guides.
-$100 allows one hospital to teach its patients, caregivers, and health professionals about the risks of stroke – the nation's No. 4 killer.
    Heart disease and stroke impact all of us, but because of events like Heart Walk we can make a difference. Through education and research the American Heart Association is working to build healthier lives. Will you support us?  Thank you, in advance, for your donation and support!
