STEPtember Vascular Health Challenge
We are challenging you to walk 60 miles throughout September to represent the 60,000 miles of blood vessels in the human body. The inaugural STEPtember Vascular Health Challenge will amplify the importance of vascular health while also promoting healthy vascular health habits in communities across the country!
Help us raise $60,000 to bring awareness of the benefits walking has for vascular health. Everyone is invited to sign up and can choose to participate individually or on a team. Funds raised will support the SVSF in providing fitness trackers for low-income patients to use while participating in supervised exercise therapy programs.
