OFFICE OF THE CHANCELLOR August 5, 1998 ALL AT UCSD (including Medical Center) SUBJECT: Join Team UCSD for the American Heart Walk This year the American Heart Association celebrates its 50th anniversary of funding life-saving research and educational programs. The American Heart Association (AHA) is the largest voluntary health organization fighting heart disease and stroke, which annually kill more than 960,000 Americans. As the number one cause of death, heart disease kills more women (and men) than ALL other causes of death combined. AHA funded research has yielded the development of the pacemaker and cholesterol lowering medicines as well as bypass surgery and CPR. UCSD has been privileged to partner with the AHA for many years. Since 1991, we have received over $8 million in research awards from the AHA. (More than any other Southern California institution.) We now have an opportunity to salute the American Heart Association in recognition of this important anniversary and to further its many good works at UCSD. By participating in the annual American Heart Walk on Saturday morning, September 19, members of the UCSD family can show their support in a most meaningful way. The American Heart Walk is the leading source of fund-raising to support the local AHA. You can join Team UCSD for the American Heart Walk by contacting one of the team captains listed below. I encourage you to take part in this important event. Robert C. Dynes Chancellor For more information call Team UCSD Leader Steve Blair at 33755, or by e-mail at Sblair@ucsd.edu .
