ROCHESTER, N.Y. — More than 1,500 people came out for the American Heart Association’s Heart Walk and Run at Monroe Community College on Thursday.

Participants raised nearly $400,000 for heart disease patients and research. News10NBC is a sponsor of the run and our own Briana Collier was the emcee.

Some of the participants were heart disease or stroke survivors. The event also celebrated the American Heart Association’s 100th birthday. You can still donate here.
