14th Annual Steve Cullen Healthy Heart Club Run/Walk
SAVE THE DATE! The 2010 Cullen Run/Walk is Saturday, February 13th!
The Medical College of Wisconsin Cardiovascular Center is affiliated with the Steve Cullen Healthy Heart Club Run/Walk, which annually supports research to benefit heart diseases.
The Cullen Run/Walk began 14 years ago in memory of former Milwaukee Alderman, Steve Cullen who died of a sudden heart attack at the age of 40. His father, at age 41, and two brothers, ages 53 and 51, also died of heart disease.
The Cullen Run/Walk has grown over 40% in participation over the years, successfully raising awareness of the importance of heart healthy lifestyles for our participants, their families and friends and contributing over $100,000 to cardiovascular research.
The Steve Cullen Healthy Heart Club Run/Walk includes an 8K run or 2-mile family-fun run/walk following a scenic path along Underwood Parkway in Wauwatosa, beginning at the Wil-O-Way Underwood Recreation Center, 10602 Underwood Parkway. Easily accessible from I-94, Highway 45 and Highway 100, the course passes a golf course, crosses a river and goes through one of Milwaukee County's prettiest parks. Sponsored by the Cullen family and the Badgerland Striders, the event includes famous Cullen Family & Friends Chili, refreshments, food and live music for the entire family.
All proceeds go to heart research at the internationally recognized Cardiovascular Center at the Medical College of Wisconsin.
