Dr Charlie Flood, one of the many organizers and sponsors of HeartChase, ย proudly said, “I couldn’t be happier with how Sunday turned out! To be part of the leadership committee for HeartChase when it was just an idea back in April and now to see this culminate as an event that included over 100 participants, 20 different teams with everyone looking like they had a great time and raising almost $14,000 for the American Heart Association

“The Villa Joseph Marie JEMS ย had an incredibly fun time at the HeartChase sharing their enthusiasm and energy for an excellent cause. They run but their generosity never fades,” Cate Murway said about the members of ย the high school track team she coaches participating.
