The American Heart Association is hosting its Ninth Annual Start! Heart Walk on Sunday, September 16, 2007 at Citizens Bank Park, the home of the Philadelphia Phillies.

Start! is the new cause campaign of the American Heart Association, with the goal to get Americans walking in order to improve their health.
