Accel Texas Heart Challenge in Partnership with Memorial Park Conservancy
This May, three civic-minded Houston institutions – the Texas Heart Institute, Accel Lifestyle, and Memorial Park Conservancy – are aligning their respective resources in recognition of National Physical Fitness and Sports Month for a multi-faceted campaign that is designed to promote cardiovascular fitness and to emphasize the importance of keeping heart health top of mind.
Dubbed the Accel Texas Heart Challenge in Partnership with Memorial Park Conservancy, the campaign is built around four limited in-person fitness sessions to be held at Memorial Park as well as four virtual fitness sessions, all of which will be led by top Houston-area instructors. Each of the eight sessions will be free and open to the public. Three ways to get involved!
