The American Heart Association held the 2024 Long Island Heart Walk on Sept. 22 at Jones Beach Field 5 in Wantagh.
The event drew more than 5,000 participants and raised over $600,000 to fund life-saving research, education, and advocacy efforts to fight heart disease and stroke on Long Island.
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in the U.S. and on Long Island. Funds raised from the walk will support initiatives to improve heart health, provide local resources, and advance treatments to reduce the impact of heart disease and stroke across Long Island.
