Start! making a difference

Since 1924, the American Heart Association has been combating cardiovascular disease and stroke, the nation’s #1 and #3 leading causes of death. We need your help.

Thousands of people from across the Greater Los Angeles County will join us for the LA Start! Heart Walk, a signature event of the American Heart Association that raises funds for research and education programs across the country. The funds raised at the Heart Walk support the lifesaving mission of the American Heart Association, helping us build healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke.
