ST. JOE?S WATERSOUND COMMUNITY TO HOLD THANKSGIVING DAY 5K RUN TO BENEFIT HEART AND VASCULAR SERVICES AT SACRED HEART HOSPITAL ON THE EMERALD COAST​

WATERSOUND, FL - (October 28, 2008) ? The St. Joe Company?s WaterSound community will host ?Move Your Feet to the Beat,? a 5K run to benefit the Sacred Heart Foundation, on Thanksgiving Day, November 27th, 2008. The run will begin at 8:00 a.m. sharp at WaterSound?s Village Commons, located off of Highway 98 in WaterSound, FL. ​

This heart healthy event is part of Sacred Heart Foundation?s capital campaign to raise $5 million for the expansion of heart and vascular services at Sacred Heart Hospital on the Emerald Coast in Walton County, Florida. The campaign?s aim is to provide expanded access to life saving services at the hospital, meeting a critical need in the community as heart disease remains the number one killer of Americans nationwide. The Foundation has raised nearly $4.6 million to date.​

While supporting Sacred Heart, participants will receive a gift bag and there will be prizes for the top male and female runners and the top in the children?s category. Post-race refreshments will be served at WaterSound?s Village Commons, courtesy of The St. Joe Company.​

?We?re proud to be a committed supporter of the Sacred Heart Health System in their goal of expanding heart and vascular care at the Walton County hospital,? said Mary Rosenheim, Senior Vice President and General Manager of JOE?s West Florida Region. ?We have a long history of working with the organization, most recently in donating land for the new Sacred Heart Hospital in Port St. Joe.?​

If I am not mistaken, Grayton Girl's younger son was the first one across the finish line! :clap: And her older son wasn't too far behind!

And my son, who was about middle of the pack, surprised the heck out of me. I didn't think he could run 5K. :blush: But I'm insanely proud!
