Temple in brief

Temple University Health System is the main sponsor of this year’s American Heart Association Walk. This Sunday, Sept. 23 Philadelphia residents are welcome to take part in a 6.2 mile walk around Fairmount Park, about 3 laps around the course. All donations go to the study of heart attacks and stroke.
Registration for the walk begins at 8 a.m. at Memorial Hall and the walk starts at 9 a.m. Last year, Director of Marketing for Temple Health Systems Andy Smith said the association raised more than $600,000 and between 400,000 and 500,000 people participated. He expects the same turnout this year.
Ambler campus students, faculty and staff have raised $5,000 for the Heart Association and will be sending a few dozen people to the walk on Sunday. The bus from Ambler will leave at 7 a.m. from parking lot two near the library.
