HENRICO COUNTY, Va. -- Hundreds of people took part in the American Heart Association's Richmond Heart Walk Saturday at Innsbrook in Glen Allen.

"Every walker who joins, every dollar donated means more research, more people trained in lifesaving CPR, more medical breakthroughs and more champions for equitable health," organizers said.

WTVR CBS 6 anchor Cheryl Miller served as emcee.

The event surpassed this year's fundraising goal, raising more than $688,000 to support those with heart-related disease in our communities.
