Hearts of Valor Inc. held our first annual 5K & Health Expo on February 23rd, in Perry Harvey Sr. Park, Tampa, Florida. The purpose of this event is to spread awareness about cardiovascular disease during American heart month and connect with our community. This outreach initiative heavily focuses on prevention of cardiovascular disease. The trifecta of prevention includes diet, exercise, and early detection. During this event, Hearts of Valor Inc. encouraged our community to get active with warm-ups from a certified Zumba instructor before going on 5k walk/run. Healthy food options were provided by our food vendors, Everbowl (overnight oats and smoothie bowls) and Bodai’s Bistro (Protein Plates). Lastly, our health expo featured preventative screenings for heart disease (Baycare), cancer (Moffit), and HIV (EPIC).
