$425,000 raised so far for the 2021 version of America's Greatest Heart Run and Walk Thanks to the CVOID-19 pandemic, the 2021 version of America's Greatest Heart Run and Walk may have been different from any other, but the spirit is the same.

It was held on Saturday, here in the middle of May instead of the first week of March, and it was considered a virtual event, as individuals and groups did their own run or walk to raise money, rather than having one huge event.
