RADFORD HEART UNIT MEETS WALK GOAL

The Radford Unit of the American Heart Association topped its goal of $8,200 during the recent American Heart Walk. Backed by pledges from sponsors, participants circled the Radford High School stadium enough times to equal a 5K walk - about 3.1 miles.

Other donations came from businesses and the medical community, as well as a contribution from the Blue Grass Festival.

One walker, Janet Hatfield, won a Mountain Lake Resort brunch for two for bringing in the most donations to the event.

Top teams in donations were fielded by the Radford Community Hospital Wellness Center - whose director, Jim Wright, supervised the walk - First National Bank and Crestar Bank.

Other prizes and certificates also were awarded.

Boy Scout Troop 46 assisted in the event by providing water and fruit for walkers.

Call Radford Unit President Tom Magri, 639-1430.
