Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital was recognized as the organization who raised the most funds for the event while encouraging “heartwalking” and healthier lives. Prior to the start of the walk, attendees of the Rutherford Heart Walk experienced family friendly activities, fun fitness demonstrations, and an exciting Kids Zone complete with a bubble wrap stomping station. Additionally, “heartwalkers” learned life-saving Hands Only CPR and even got their blood pressure checked.
