The Annual Hays County Heart Walk was held at Bobcat Stadium this past Saturday. Many Texas State student and San Marcos residents came out to support the cause. Katie Lombardi has more on this Bobcat Update.
There was a moment of silence as people paused to remember those lost to heart disease. With the release of red balloons and a shot of gunfire the annual Hays county Heart Walk began. The American Heart Association raised money through donations and sponsorship. Students showed their support by donating and participating in the walk at Bobcat Stadium.

This year's heart walk was dedicated to Hays County Sheriff Allen Bridges who died of a heart attack in December. Bridges was a law enforcement veteran in Hays County for 11 years. Bridges' family showed its support by participating in the walk. Some walkers wore a red hat signifying that they were survivors of heart disease.
Stand Up
The Heart Association suggests that everyone get routine doctor visits and regular blood pressure check ups. Other tips to stay healthy include a balanced diet, regular exercise, moderate alcohol use and no smoking. For Bobcat Update, I'm Katie Lombardi.
