Want to walk across the red carpet today?\u00a0 You can–and hearts will benefit.<\/p>\n

At noon today, community activist Justin Rudd<\/a> starts off the Fourth Annual “Red High Heels Walk”<\/a>\u00a0 along Long Beach’s Second Street, to raise awareness of heart health.<\/p>\n

This\u00a0 free event, starting off with participants walking down a “red carpet”, is a one-mile walk past the shops and restaurants of Second Street.\u00a0 Everyone is requested to wear red shoes, and if you don’t have any, you may wrap an old pair completely in red tape–that qualifies!<\/p>\n

Community groups including the CSULB Pilipino American Coalition and Ronald McDonald House will be participating.\u00a0 And Justin’s Community Action Team<\/a> will donate money to heart-health research for every participant who completes the course wearing red shoes!<\/p>\n

Men, women and children are welcome, and you may bring your dog (on a leash, please!).\u00a0 Participants are encouraged to make and carry signs about heart health.\u00a0 The sign-in point is at Second and Nieto, and walkers must be signed in by 11:50–but plan on getting there early, as parking can be a challenge on Saturdays.<\/p>\n

I’ve had the pleasure of participating in this event before, and it is a LOT of fun.\u00a0 Following the 1-mile walk, people generally wind up at a local restaurant, socializing and commiserating on their sore feet.<\/p>\n

(Yes, it’s going to hurt.\u00a0 But as Justin’s site says, a heart attack hurts a lot more.)<\/p>\n
