Trinity Logistics' Heart and Sole 5K Raises $9,500 for Nanticoke Health Services Cardiac Unit

Trinity Logistics, in conjunction with the Trinity Foundation, held its annual “Heart and Sole 5K” on Saturday, March 26th, at Trinity in Seaford. The event’s goal is to encourage heart health awareness, as well as raise funds for the Nanticoke Health Services Cardiac Unit. This year’s event was highly successful and raised $9,500 that will go to purchase new workout equipment for recovering cardiac patients.

“Through the Heart and Sole 5K, Trinity Logistics and community members put their best foot forward to assist cardiac rehabilitation patients at Nanticoke Memorial Hospital,” said Renee’ Morris, Nanticoke Health Services Executive Director.  “Funds will assist with the purchase of new treadmills for patients walking their own journey of a healthier heart.”

This year, the sixth in the Trinity Foundation’s history, there were 160 participants ranging from young children to seniors in the 5K from around Delmarva.

“It is imperative that our community is made aware of heart disease, the silent killer that is the leading cause of death among men and women in the United States,” said Jill Ostermann, Trinity Foundation member and 5K founder. “Your heart is responsible for everything that gives your body life and it is our mission to help those in our community through awareness, education, prevention or with rehabilitation.”

On April 27th, members from Nanticoke Health Services were presented with a check from the Trinity Foundation totaling $13,800, a combination of funds raised from the 5K and Trinity’s Big Pink Volleyball Tournament.
