1 Million Meters Moved

1 Million Meters Moved My name is Noah Marotta. I’m a senior at Chaminade High School. One of the best ways to reduce the risk for heart disease is to engage in physical activity.

This February, in honor of American Heart Month, I’m seeking to increase awareness of healthy heart habits & raise money for the American Heart Association. I have been personally moved by this issue, as both of my grandfathers have had major heart surgery in the past 3 years. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the US with more than 650,000 Americans dying from heart disease every year

- that’s a staggering 1 person every 36 seconds! My goal is to move 1 million meters during the month of February and raise $10,000! As a rower on the Chaminade Crew Team, I plan to row, walk and run a total of 1 million meters over the course of the month. That’s a total of over 621 miles! But I can’t do this alone! DIFFERENT WAYS YOU CAN HELP

1. Make a monetary donation towards my $10,000 goal. All proceeds will go to the American Heart Association. Donate in honor or memory of someone you know with heart disease and add a note in the GoFundMe comments section.

2. Donate your movement towards my 1 Million Meter goal. Submit your own meters rowed or miles walked/run to help me reach and surpass my million meter moved goal. The best way to a healthy heart is to exercise. Move along with me for a healthier YOU! Submit a photo that documents your meters or miles moved. Email a photo to [email protected]. Your meters/miles will be added to my numbers. Let’s see how far we can go together! Row, walk, or run the meters in someone’s honor.

3. Share this fundraiser on your social media sites to bring greater awareness of American Heart Month to those around you. Doing so may just save a life! SUGGESTED DONATIONS

Full circle moment! My motivation for 1 Million Meters Moved started here at St. Francis Heart Center when they cared for my grandfather after open heart surgery. It felt great to give back to them while making a difference for healthy hearts. ❤️

Million Meters Moved! Noah Marotta wanted to do something to give back and raise awareness for heart disease. As a top rower at Chaminade High School in Mineola, Noah is encouraging his friends and others to row, walk and run along with him this February for Heart Month and help him raise money for the American Heart Association. As a result of his efforts, Noah and his mother presented baskets of goodies and donated a check for $1,000 to St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center where his grandfather had open-heart surgery, in recognition of the outstanding nurses who helped in his recovery. Noah hopes the challenge will log a total of one million meters (that’s 621 miles) moved by the end of the month and encourage everyone to keep moving!

One million meters - or 621 miles - that is the distance a Long Island high school senior wants others to row, walk and run along with him this month to raise money for the American Heart Association.
