The American Heart Association’s 2022 Maine Heart Walk will be held on Sunday, May 15 at 9:00am at Portland’s Baxter Boulevard. GSB President and CEO, Steve deCastro, is serving as this year’s volunteer Walk Chair. Steve and his committee have set a fundraising goal of $450,000 through corporate donations and walk teams.

“Heart health is critically important. Education and funding are central to promoting research and better awareness of the issues surrounding heart disease,” said Steve deCastro. “I, like so many others, have had friends, co-workers and even family members impacted by heart disease. We have to do all we can to help people understand the risks, and to take steps to lower high blood pressure and prevent strokes and heart attacks. The Heart Walk is a wonderful way to help accomplish these goals and I’m very pleased to chair this year’s event. I encourage everyone to join us in this fight.”
