Bowie Family Rallies for Heart Health with Strides for Strong Hearts Event

Heart disease remains a leading cause of death among African Americans, significantly affecting both men and women across the United States. In efforts to combat these alarming statistics, which reveal African Americans are 30% more likely to die from heart disease compared to their White peers, a special community event has been organized. The walk/run event, named "Strides for Strong Hearts," aims to raise awareness and support initiatives for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of heart disease within the African American community.

This cause is deeply personal for the family of Deron Edwards, who tragically lost his life to a heart attack at just 41 years old. Despite having several risk factors, Deron's condition went undiagnosed until it was tragically too late. This year, as we mark a decade since his passing, the event also serves to honor Deron's memory and the impact he had on those around him.

The community is invited to join the commemorative event on April 20th, 2024. The registration fee is set at $25, with all proceeds benefiting the Black Heart Association and Premature Widows Ministries, LLC. Participants who contribute $50 or more will receive a special commemorative T-shirt. The event promises to be a meaningful gathering, reinforcing the importance of heart health awareness.
