Onyx Group will be participating in the 2009 Big Bend Start! Heart Walk this October. We have pledged to raise $2,500 for the American Heart Association and we need your help!

Heart related health issues have touched most of our lives in one way or another: heart disease and stroke are the nations number 1 and number 3 killers respectively. You can do your part to fight heart disease by donating your time or money to Onyx Group. By clicking the link below, you can donate by credit card or PayPal now, or sign up to be a member of the Onyx Group Heart Walk Team. Participants who join the Onyx Group team and help us get to our goal of $2,500 will receive a special edition Onyx Group Heart Walk t-shirt designed by our Uber Doodler, Kris Carter.

In January 2008, the Centers for Disease Center (CDC) release new mortality data which shows that, since 1999, coronary heart disease and stroke age-adjusted death rates are down by 25.8 percent and 24.4 percent, respectively. This means that the American Heart Association’s 2010 strategic goal for reducing deaths from coronary heart disease has been achieved, and for stoke nearly achieved – well ahead of schedule. A new impact goal for 2020 is already being developed.
