The American Heart Association’s annual Dallas Heart Walk has revealed its executive committee for the annual event that raises awareness and funds for heart health and stroke prevention.
On Saturday, September 11, the Dallas Heart Walk, the largest heart walk in the U.S., steps off at The Lawn at Reunion Tower. Uniting the community and honoring survivors, the Heart Walk is the culminating event of the Dallas Heart Challenge.

Together we are taking important steps in supporting research and preventative programs that will save and improve lives.”
Carrillo will shepherd the $5.7 million fundraising goal to support the lifesaving work of the AHA.
