Registration for the Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) Foundation’s 2024 Vascular Health Step Challenge is now open. The Foundation is hosting the third annual Step Challenge throughout the month of September in honor of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) Awareness Month.
Throughout September, Step Challenge participants are encouraged to walk 60 miles to represent the 60,000 miles of blood vessels in the human body. Registration for the challenge costs $60 per participant. Once registered, participants can download the Charity Footprints mobile application and synch it to their smartphone or watch to monitor their daily step count. A leaderboard is accessible within the application so participants can monitor their progress and their competition.
Proceeds from the Vascular Health Step Challenge will benefit the SVS Foundation’s mission to optimize the vascular health and well-being of patients and the public through support of research that leads to discovery of knowledge and innovative strategies, as well as education and programs, to prevent and treat circulatory disease.
