AHA Heart Walk.  On October 11th, HNFE Instructor Michelle Lewis lead a team of 9 HNFE students to participate in the American Heart Association's Heart Walk at Bisset Park in Radford.  Most walked a 5K for the event, and the team raised $960 for heart disease prevention education and research.  Kudos to Michelle and her students!
