Heart Walk: True Stories. True Success.

On October 15, 2011, Mike Oates experienced a plaque rupture while in the midst of training for a half marathon. In just 66 minutes, he went from lying on the ground without a pulse to leaving surgery with the rest of his life ahead of him.

Last year, the American Heart Association gave more than $7 million to GRU in research funding, making us eighth in the nation – and, more importantly, helping us to save lives like that of Mike Oates. The Heart Walk gives us the chance to give back to AHA.
