Walk to benefit Heart Association
by Rawly Bransom, Sports Editor

   The Fort Worth division of the American Heart Association will sponsor a 5K non-competitive walk Saturday, Sept. 20.
   Proceeds will help fund research in the fight against heart disease and stroke, which take the lives of almost 950,000 people each year and are the No. 1 and No. 3 killers of Americans, according to literature from the association.
   The AHA's goal is to raise $900,000 to help fund both public and professional educational programs.
   Festivities will begin at 8 a.m., and the actual walk will start at 9 a.m.
   Event organizers recommend that participants arrive at least 15 minutes early to have time for registration.
   Participants can register as a group or as individuals at the Trinity Park Shelter House on West 7th Street.
