Other walks included the Kemah Boardwalk, the University of Houston campus in central Houston and Lone Star College's University Park campus.
“I'm so proud of our intrepid, enthusiastic walkers who proved their commitment to improving their own health, and the funds they raised proved their commitment to our community’s health as well,” said Mel Edwards, AHA’s senior vice president and executive director for Greater Houston, in a news release. “Not even rain and near-freezing temperatures can dim Houstonians’ spirits or dilute their dedication.”
The event included music, a children's zone, CPR training and local medical professionals providing health tips.
Funds raised by the walks go toward research, advocacy, CPR training and other efforts, according to the AHA.
