At Delmanor Northtown, residents and team members are
dedicated to being involved in the community in which they live. Residents feel a great sense
of pride when participating in fundraising events that change lives.
With the
support of their TRIDEL team, the Delmanor Northtown residents participated in the 2016
Walk of Life which supports the Cardiac Health Foundation. It all started with
the Healthy Hearts Chef Challenge, in which the Delmanor Culinary Team won 1st
place overall to create a healthy and delicious meal. Their next goal was to walk in the 2016 Walk of
Life and complete the 5K successfully. Since
1965, The Walk of Life has raised $12.5
Million nationally for facilities, scholarships & research, patient &
public awareness, professional education and medical equipment. Walking &
exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation programs are widely recommended as part
of the continuum of cardiovascular care and the reason why the National WALK OF
LIFE campaign was started.
In the early hours of Saturday, May 28th,
the Delmanor Northtown team got themselves ready for a walk that will change
lives - -many lives - -including that of 11 year old Isabella Rizzo, who is also
known as “The Heart Warrior”. Her mother Cathy walked alongside the Delmanor Team and enchanted everyone with the stories of how the Cardiac Health Foundation was
saving lives every day. Lives of those we know; lives of those we will meet one
day as they grow into adulthood, all thanks to the advances that have been made
possible by the Walk of Life.
At the end of the 5K walk, team Delmanor was tired, but spirits were filled with gratitude; gratitude for the chance to give back,
gratitude to meet amazing people like Cathy Rizzo, and gratitude that together,
we can make a direct impact in other people’s lives. Way to Go Team Delmanor Northtown!
