This Heart Month, the American Heart Association, a relentless force changing the future of health for everyone everywhere, invites the Crossroads community to participate in the 2026 Crossroads Heart and Stroke Walk at Riverside Park Saturday, Feb. 7, at 8 a.m.
The event brings together heart disease and stroke survivors, participants from local companies and other community members for the new Crossroads Heart and Stroke Walk experience — a participantcentered event focused on CPR readiness and community impact. A variety of activities will take place in the Be Extraordinary area as participants practice Hands-Only CPR and commit to simple heart-healthy steps, followed by an opening ceremony before the walk begins.
“Raising awareness of heart health and CPR is crucial to helping people live longer, healthier lives,” said Haley Willemin, American Heart Association volunteer cochair and president at Prosperity Bank Victoria North. “By equipping more people with the skills needed to save a life, we’re turning bystanders into lifesavers.”
