The Vancouver Heart and Stroke walk will have a different feel this weekend, because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The walk, thrown by the American Heart Association, celebrates heart and stroke survivors, and raises funds for research, advocacy efforts and more.
From 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday, participants and teams will not physically meet, but can walk around their home or neighborhood, while following physical distancing guidelines.
“This is new for us, for sure, but we can remain connected to our communities and take steps that keep us heart healthy while adhering to the public guidelines around social distancing,” said Leslie McCall, executive director for the American Heart Association in Oregon and Southwest Washington.
