The Heart of the Matter


This March, Houston DINEs and the American Heart Association will focus many off our efforts on childhood and youth health.

Recently, a young, vital, teenager who played rugby for his high school died from a heart attack during the match. The teen collapsed after taking a tackle to the chest. Devastating issues like this occur each day throughout the nation.

Use your spring break to join our crusade as we tackle issues such as school lunch, physical education requirements, smoke-free Texas and nutritional issues such as Trans fats. On March 16, 2011 we will push our agenda at the State Capitol. For more information contact Joel Romo, Senior Director of Government Relations at joel.romo@heart.org.
