The Steve Cullen Healthy Heart Run/Walk is proud to fund life-saving heart research at the Medical College of Wisconsin in memory of former Milwaukee Alderman Steve Cullen who died at age 40 of a heart attack. In our 29 years, we’ve donated more than $700,000 to the cause, putting every dollar raised in the hands of researchers who are battling the #1 killer in the United States, heart disease.
