The Central Ohio Heart Walk takes place on August 20 at McFerson Commons in downtown Columbus.
A pair of Facilities Operations and Development leaders are coaching a team at this year’s event. Mark Conselyea and Kristin Poldemann, who lead team Heart and Sole, both walked in the event last year.
“A recent health and wellness survey told us that a number of our staff are not getting enough exercise, struggle with their weight and exhibit a number of factors that put them at risk for heart disease and stroke,” Conselyea said.

It’s a similar story throughout her office. Cramer says FDC employees spend a lot of time on the phone and in meetings.
“I want everyone in the office to be able to step away from the stress of their job for a moment,” Cramer said.
