KDMC, OLBH sponsor HeartChase June 13

King's Daughters and Our Lady of Bellefonte Hospital will co-sponsor the Ashland HeartChase beginning at 9 a.m. Saturday, June 13, at Ashland Central Park. Members of the public are invited to join in the fun contest to benefit the American Heart Association’s quest to prevent heart disease.

There is no fee to participate but teams are encouraged to fundraise (with T-shirts awarded for individuals who raise $50 or more). The competition mirrors popular television shows such as Amazing Race and Minute to Win It with teams of two to five competing in a chase through the community to complete 10 checkpoint challenges during which they can locate hidden donations while tracking their progress in a special HeartChase mobile game app. The team with the most points at the end of clock wins. Prizes will be awarded and will be announced at the end of the event.

HeartChase is open to all ages. Registration is available online at
