Vein Specialists VeinInnovations Sponsors the Atlanta Heart Walk

    ATLANTA, GA, July 31, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- VeinInnovations' motto is "Great Legs for Life," and what better way to get great legs than walking! On September 20th, the Atlanta Heart Walk will be held in Centennial Olympic Park. The event is organized by the American Heart Association, and Vein Innovations is proud to help sponsor the walk.

The Heart Walk
Heart disease and stroke are currently the country's No. 1 and No. 4 killers, respectively, and the Heart Walk is held each year to raise awareness of these conditions, to promote the importance of physical activity and to raise funds for the research and development of effective treatments and preventative methods. The walk is a 5-kilometer walk, and both individuals and teams are encouraged to sign up. There is no sign-up fee; instead, every donation over $100 entitles you to a prize. (1)

The promotion of physical activity and healthy living is something that the medical professionals at VeinInnovations are very passionate about. Being physically inactive and overweight or obese are known risk factors for developing varicose veins as well as for developing heart disease. (2)

"Vein Innovations sponsors the Atlanta Heart walk which is a great event where our entire staff enjoys getting some exercise, spending time together outside of the office and helping an important cause. Walking regularly is one of the best ways to not only avoid getting heart disease but also to reduce the risks of developing vein diseases, such as varicose veins," explains David Martin, RN, CRNFA, CEO/President from VeinInnovations. "The Atlanta Heart Walk is a great event that allows you to get some fresh air and exercise while also helping an important cause." (3)
