GUARDaHEART promotes heart-healthy lifestyles at the Tanaka Farms Christmas Tree Holiday Run/Walk
Healthy habits start at a young age, and the Holiday Run/Walk allows us to celebrate the holiday season as a community, while encouraging families as a whole to adopt healthy lifestyles now and in the New Year.
Irvine, CA (PRWEB) December 11, 2014
GUARDaHEART, a non-profit organization dedicated to fighting Heart Disease through awareness and prevention, supported a heart-healthy holiday season at the Tanaka Farms Holiday Run/Walk on December 7th, 2014. The fun-filled event for all ages offered a spirited way for GUARDaHEART to share their message, “Learn. Detect. Prevent.”, in an effort to prevent and reduce CHD risk within the Orange County community.
“The annual Christmas Tree Holiday Run/Walk provides a great opportunity for GUARDaHEART to promote Heart Disease prevention in a way that is fun for both adults and kids,” commented Jerry Nostadt, GUARDaHEART Board of Directors President. “Healthy habits start at a young age, and this event allows us to celebrate the holiday season as a community, while encouraging families as a whole to adopt healthy lifestyles now and in the New Year.”
The 5k event also offered a 1K “Santa’s Helpers Walk” for kids. Christmas-themed photo stations and holiday-themed music at every mile kept runners and walkers motivated, and fresh hot chocolate awaited them at the finish line. Guests were able to enjoy all the amenities that Tanaka Farms has to offer, and each family was able to take home a complimentary Christmas tree.
