Organizers gear up for the annual Bert Blain Memorial Heart Walk on September 18th.

Director Chris Ramos says the event raises money for research while at the same time recognizing survivors of heart disease or stroke.

Ramos says the walk will begin at 7:30 a.m. on Sunday, September 18th at the Janesville Town Square pavilion.

Participants can get more information or register online at heart-dot-org.
