MGHers with heart

A group of MGHers who want to make a difference for those who suffer from heart disease will be participating in the 2005 American Heart Association's (AHA) Boston Heart Walk, Sept. 17 at 10 am at the Hatch Memorial Shell on the Charles River Esplanade. Much of the cardiovascular research conducted at the MGH is supported by funds raised by the AHA. Last year, the MGH was the top fundraising hospital. This year, the top 15 MGHers who raise the most money for the Heart Walk will receive a pair of tickets to see a New England Patriots home game. For more information or to sign up for the walk, visit http://heartwalk.kintera.org/bostonma/teamsusantowler or send e-mail to stowler@partners.org.
