CELEBRATE SURVIVORS
Survivors are the HEART of every walk. If you or your child are a survivor, show everyone your
triumphs. As part of your Heart Walk celebration, survivors are given commemorative red or white
ball caps to show their triumph over heart disease or stroke. To celebrate our child Heart Heroes, we
offer special SUPERHERO CAPES for young survivors.

Survivor Caps will be distributed by each company leader.
