RMH Heart Check

The Alpha Phi Sorority of JMU and RMH Women’s Health Focus are sponsoring the third annual “Move Your Phi’t” 5K walk/run at 11 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 7 to benefit RMH Heart Check.

Funds will be used to offer free educational heart health screenings to patients of the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Free Clinic. The Free Clinic serves an uninsured, low-income population at high risk for heart disease, said Maria Hostetter, RMH Heart Check navigator.

“The RMH Heart Check program is a unique educational service that has served over 762 women 139 men in nearly three years,” Hostetter said. “With the outstanding support of the Alpha Phi Foundation, we will be able to provide Harrisonburg-Rockingham Free Clinic patients with heart disease risk factor screening and education.”

Registration begins at 10 a.m. on the bottom floor of the JMU Festival Center and the
run/walk begins at 11 a.m. The registration fee is $12 per participant before Feb. 3 and $15 per person after. Breakfast and lunch will be provided.

The Alpha Phi Sorority of James Madison University has raised a total of $11,475 for RMH Heart Check through its annual fundraisers.

Event registration is available online at www.jmualphaphi.eventbrite.com.
