QVC Joins Over 1,000 For West Chester Heart Walk

WEST CHESTER, PA -- More than 100 QVC associates were among the over 1,000 participants who walked October 15 at West Goshen Park, benefiting the American Heart Association, one of QVC’s featured charities, according to QVC officials.

The focus of this year’s Heart Walk was to create hope, inspire change and celebrate successes. Cardiovascular diseases — including stroke — are the leading cause of death in the U.S. By collecting contributions, walkers in the event helped ensure funding for research to find cures, spokespersons said.

Heart Walk attendees had access to health screenings from Penn Medicine and free food and water, and enjoyed an exercise demonstration, games and activity area for kids and families, a pet zone providing dog treats and water bowls, and several sponsor and vendor booths, a release stated.

“Supporting the health and wellness of women is a key goal of QVC’s charitable mission, and heart health is a particularly critical issue for women, who play such an important role in building strong families and communities,” said Albany Irvin, QVC program host, in a statement. “The American Heart Association has been one of QVC’s featured charities for years and we couldn’t be more excited to be a part of their signature event.”
