Fraser Valley – MARCH 17 UPDATE – On February 27th, 2021, participants tuned into the 4th Annual Step Up 4 Cardiac Health retro themed virtual event. “We are so blown away by the support of our participants despite not being able to come together in person this year” remarked Liz Harris, Executive Director. “It was amazing to see that we had participants all the way in Toronto”!
Kalena, from Innovative Fitness, and her high-energy, full-body workout got everyone’s hearts pumping with step challenges and resistance training in a fun workout that was suited for all fitness levels, and all ages.
In honour of heart health month, the participants “stepped up” and raised a new record of over $24,000. This will support the purchase of Telemetry Packs for the Cardiac Health Unit at Abbotsford Regional Hospital. This device is a portable heart monitor that you wear around your neck or waist or in the pocket of a hospital gown and can be used for an extended period while you’re at home to track heart rhythm problems.
