Did you know that someone in the U.S. dies from stroke about every 4 minutes and from heart disease about once every 84 seconds? The good news is that cardiovascular diseases, including strokes, are largely preventable with proper amounts of physical activity and healthy eating. That is why Brookfield Properties is honored to support the American Heart Association’s first-ever CycleNation Houston event, which we will be hosting on September 23 at Houston Center! To kick off the journey to CycleNation Houston, we invited tenants from across our Houston portfolio to join us for a special evening event called Cycle with Heart.

CycleNation is the American Heart Association’s newest and most interactive event. Cycling is known to strengthen heart muscles, lower your resting rate and reduce cholesterol. What many people don’t know, is that what’s good for your heart, is good for your brain – and physical activity like cycling can help maintain strong brain function, processing speeds and mental sharpness, and help in preventing stroke and heart disease.

Through events like CycleNation Houston, the American Heart Association is able to raise funds to implement and expand education and research initiatives in our very own neighborhoods. To our entire Brookfield Properties community, we hope you are inspired to give to or participate in some way in CycleNation Houston.

• If you’re interested in riding in the event, we encourage you to gather up your friends or colleagues to create a team!
• If your company wants to be involved, please consider a sponsorship!
• Personal donations are also welcome!
• And American Heart Association can always use volunteers.
