The dedicated volunteers for Heart to Heart took to the track on Wednesday, April 16, and walked their way to improving the equipment for the Drumheller Health Centre.
The annual walkathon by Heart to Heart, to raise funds for cardiac rehabilitation patients at the Drumheller Health Centre was another success, and they raised $13,080.
The Heart to Heart Society of Drumheller is a registered non-profit, made up of a volunteer membership. Its goal is to support the Drumheller Health Foundation with the purchase and maintenance of heart-related equipment for the Drumheller Health Centre to support Drumheller and area patients.
President Thom Diprose told the Mail last year they supported the hospital by purchasing six wheelchairs, as well as a vein finder, two vital signs monitors and the wall mounts. In total, this came to about $19,000.
They are awaiting the Health Centre’s requests for the coming year that this campaign will help support.
Since 1999, Heart to Heart has raised $526,402.99, not including the totals from this campaign.
