Thousands Walk to Raise Awareness for Heart Disease
Thousands of participants laced up their shoes to raise awareness alongside the American Heart Association. News Channel 8’s anchor Stacie Schaible and other reporters joined the 3.1-mile walk and 1-mile Survivor loop. “As someone whose family has been deeply impacted by heart disease, being a spokeswoman for the Tampa Bay Heart Walk is incredibly meaningful to me,” said Schaible. “I wholeheartedly invite you to join my team or make a contribution – every dollar plays a vital role in saving lives.”
