The pacemaker was invented because of a $500 grant from AHA. Since 1949, AHA has invested $4 billion into research. That is where events like the April 21st Heart Walk in Christian County come in.

The Christian County Heart Walk will be April 21 at the Western Kentucky Fairgrounds. Registration begins at 8:00am and the walk gets started with the open ceremonies at 8:45. For more information call (270) 519-9234 or visit www.heart.org/christiancountywalk.
