The California Department of Child Support Services recently participated in the 2016 DCSS Heart Walk event to support the effort of saving lives from heart disease and stroke—the number one and number five causes of death in the United States according to the American Heart Association.
For the fourth year in a row more than 100 DCSS staff participated in the 1.2 mile walk around the neighborhood surrounding DCSS headquarters in Rancho Cordova. The participants walked in groups and chatted along the way while also enjoying water and almonds donated by Blue Diamond growers.
“I feel connect (to the event) because I was actually born with a hole in my heart and spent my fifth birthday in open-heart surgery,” said Tim Carr-Lovato. “(The support) really hits close to home.”
