The American Heart Association, a relentless force for longer, healthier lives, successfully held the 2024 Long Island Heart Walk last September 22, 2024 at Jones Beach Field 5, Wantagh, NY. 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, but the American Heart Association is working to change that. Funds raised from the walk will support initiatives to improve heart health, provide local resources and advance treatments aimed at reducing the impact of heart disease and stroke in our communities.
