WEBVTT OUT DIRECT 70'S INCLUDING ONE TAKING PLACE IN SACRAMENTO. WE HAVE AN EVENT TAKING PLACE TODAY AT OUR STATE CAPITAL. IT IS THE HEART WALK PRESENTED BY THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION AND OUR SACRAMENTO CHAPTER. GREAT THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WALK INCLUDING THE HEALTH BENEFITS. FOR MORE BENEFITS, I AM JOINED BY DR. DDON HUFFARD. WHY GET OUTSIDE AND DO THIS? EXERCISES ONE OF THE BEST THINGS AN INDIVIDUAL CAN DO FOR THEMSELVES AND WALKING IS AN EASY WAY TO DO IT. HALF AN HOUR A DAY MAKES QUITE A DIFFERENCE AND IS IMPORTANT FOR PREVENTION OF HEALTH DISEASE -- OF HEART DISEASE AND STROKES. YOU EXPECT A LOT OF PEOPLE SHOW UP AT THE CAPITOL TODAY. WE ARE EXPECTING ABOUT 2000 PEOPLE. WE EXPECT WORKERS FROM DOWNTOWN TO COME OUT AND ANYONE IN THE AREA. . IT'S FREEWE HOPE EVERYONE WILL GET INVOLVED IT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO INCLUDE A HEALTH EXPO? THERE WILL BE A LOT OF INFORMATION ON HEALTH AS WELL AS A NUMBER OF BOOTHS THAT HAVE BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKS AND GOODIES FROM BLUE DIAMOND ALMONDS. DIGNITY HEALTH AS PEOPLE OUT THERE. WESTERN HEALTH ADVANTAGE WILL BE OUT THERE AS WELL. I THINK IT WILL BE FUN FOR PEOPLE. WHO CAN PARTICIPATE AND HOW? ANYBODY CAN PARTICIPATE. IF YOU WANT TO SIGN UP OFFICIALLY WITH THE TEAM OR AS AN INDIVIDUAL, YOU CAN GO TO SACRAMENTO HEART WALK.ORG OR JUST COME OUT AND ENJOY IT. WE ARE LOOKING AT HOPEFULLY SOME RECORD-BREAKING NUMBERS THIS YEAR. LAST YEAR WE RAISED AROUND $700,000 AND WE HOPE TO GET OVER $1 MILLION THIS YEAR. THERE ARE STILL A COUPLE OF MORE DAYS BEFORE THE BIG WALK ON SATURDAY. FANTASTIC, THERE'S TWO WALKS TO CHOOSE FROM AND WE MENTIONED THE ONE TAKING PLACE AT THE STATE CAPITAL. THE WALK WILL START AT 11:30 A.M. AND THERE IS A HEALTH FAIR FROM 11-1 AND A ONE MILE COURSE TODAY EXTENDING AROUND THE CAPITAL. THE NEXT HEART WALK WILL TAKE PLACE THIS SATURDAY IN WILLIAM LAND PARK AND IT WILL START AT 9:00 A.M. AND FEATURE A 5K COURSE AND WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO COME OUT. THE HEART ASSOCIATION IS A GREAT CAUSE IN THIS AREA SO BRING YOURSELF AND GET INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR HEALTH. MY DAD SUFFERED A STROKE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND EVERY DAY I ASKED HIM -- I ASKED HIM WHAT HE DID FOR HIS HEART TODAY. IT'S A NUMBER ONE KILLER SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO EXERCISE.
