Our program coach, Dr. James Beckerman, recently shared about what's new for Season 14 as well as the traditions that inspire new participants and keep others returning year after year.

We've just begun our first week of the training season and intentionally have the program built to continue welcoming new participants for the first couple of weeks.

It's not too late! Walkers and runners who are seeking a supportive community and motivation to move during the winter months, this is your program. It's YOUR community!

In April 2025, we celebrated the delivery of the 150th device through our AED Donation program. These automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are distributed to qualified nonprofit organizations across Oregon and Southern Washington where an average of 20 devices are donated each year.

When a bystander uses an AED within the first minute of cardiac arrest, 9 out of 10 people live (source: American Heart Association). “Until AEDs are available universally, there’s always going to be a need for providing them. We want to be a part of that,” shares Dr. James Beckerman, medical director, heart programs, Providence Heart Institute. “The more we can normalize AED use in our various communities, the more people will be comfortable using them, when necessary.”

When every second counts, we want folks to have an AED on hand and the trained confidence to help save a life. If you know of a nonprofit organization located in Oregon or Southern Washington who could benefit from an AED for their cardiac safety plan, please share our website and encourage they apply.

Funding for this Providence AED Donation program is made possible by the generosity of others through the Providence St. Vincent Medical Foundation.
