1
00:00:00,490 –> 00:00:01,323
– Good morning.
2
00:00:01,323 –> 00:00:02,420
My name is Marc Natale
3
00:00:02,420 –> 00:00:03,590
and I’m the Executive Director
4
00:00:03,590 –> 00:00:04,920
of the American Heart Association
5
00:00:04,920 –> 00:00:06,420
for the Greater Rochester region.
6
00:00:06,420 –> 00:00:08,470
And I’m on my way over to the start line
7
00:00:08,470 –> 00:00:12,140
that my kids and I established
for our virtual 5k run today.
8
00:00:12,140 –> 00:00:13,340
I wanted to quickly thank you
9
00:00:13,340 –> 00:00:15,070
on behalf of the staff of the AHA,
10
00:00:15,070 –> 00:00:16,220
the board of directors
11
00:00:16,220 –> 00:00:17,990
and Heart Walk Executive Leadership team
12
00:00:17,990 –> 00:00:20,910
for joining us for our first
Virtual Heart Walk and Run,
13
00:00:20,910 –> 00:00:24,290
which also happens to be the
30th anniversary of this event.
14
00:00:24,290 –> 00:00:26,390
Now we certainly wish we
were all physically together
15
00:00:26,390 –> 00:00:27,990
with the 8,000 friends and family
16
00:00:27,990 –> 00:00:30,170
who typically join us each year downtown,
17
00:00:30,170 –> 00:00:31,950
but we’re all together in spirit
18
00:00:31,950 –> 00:00:34,240
and have the common bond
of improving the health
19
00:00:34,240 –> 00:00:35,900
of our community.
20
00:00:35,900 –> 00:00:37,640
Now, we have a great
program for you today,
21
00:00:37,640 –> 00:00:39,210
which we will kick off shortly,
22
00:00:39,210 –> 00:00:40,880
but we wanna thank each
and every one of you
23
00:00:40,880 –> 00:00:43,110
for your continued
support and participation,
24
00:00:43,110 –> 00:00:45,610
particularly during these
unprecedented times,
25
00:00:45,610 –> 00:00:48,400
your financial support has
allowed us to be on the ground.
26
00:00:48,400 –> 00:00:50,580
With COVID-19 fast-tracking funding
27
00:00:50,580 –> 00:00:52,560
and turning our technology platform
28
00:00:52,560 –> 00:00:54,980
within hospitals to a national registry,
29
00:00:54,980 –> 00:00:57,380
which is helping us better
understand this virus
30
00:00:57,380 –> 00:00:59,130
and be on the forefront of understanding
31
00:00:59,130 –> 00:01:00,720
and working to eliminate ethnic
32
00:01:00,720 –> 00:01:02,280
and racial health disparities
33
00:01:02,280 –> 00:01:03,960
that we’re seeing with COVID-19.
34
00:01:03,960 –> 00:01:06,570
We also continue to support
our youth in schools,
35
00:01:06,570 –> 00:01:09,260
work sites and moving
critical research forward.
36
00:01:09,260 –> 00:01:10,990
So please know that all the fundraising
37
00:01:10,990 –> 00:01:12,950
and all the effort each
and every one of you
38
00:01:12,950 –> 00:01:15,950
put forward together with the
American Heart Association
39
00:01:15,950 –> 00:01:19,340
means that our community comes
out stronger than before.
40
00:01:19,340 –> 00:01:21,070
So enjoy the beautiful weather,
41
00:01:21,070 –> 00:01:23,490
post those pictures throughout
the day on Facebook,
42
00:01:23,490 –> 00:01:25,350
because we want to see all the ways
43
00:01:25,350 –> 00:01:26,940
you’re engaging virtually.
44
00:01:26,940 –> 00:01:29,470
Now I’m gonna turn it
over to our National CEO
45
00:01:29,470 –> 00:01:32,350
and National Board Chairman
for a few important words
46
00:01:32,350 –> 00:01:34,970
on the AHA stance through
our guiding principles
47
00:01:34,970 –> 00:01:38,460
on diversity, inclusion and
equitable health for all.
48
00:01:38,460 –> 00:01:40,363
Take care, stay safe.
49
00:01:43,590 –> 00:01:46,810
– Like you, I am
heartbroken by the tragedies
50
00:01:46,810 –> 00:01:50,000
that have taken place across our country.
51
00:01:50,000 –> 00:01:55,000
The memories of George Floyd,
Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery
52
00:01:55,210 –> 00:01:58,420
and far too many others remain with us.
53
00:01:58,420 –> 00:02:01,740
And our hearts go out
to everyone everywhere
54
00:02:01,740 –> 00:02:04,923
who is grieving and searching for justice.
55
00:02:05,860 –> 00:02:09,320
The American Heart Association
denounces senseless acts
56
00:02:09,320 –> 00:02:11,840
of racial violence against individuals
57
00:02:11,840 –> 00:02:15,550
and unnecessary violence
in our communities.
58
00:02:15,550 –> 00:02:18,170
As a nonprofit healthcare organization,
59
00:02:18,170 –> 00:02:21,910
we are taking a stand
on social justice issues
60
00:02:21,910 –> 00:02:24,230
because it’s the right thing to do
61
00:02:24,230 –> 00:02:28,350
and because there is scientific
evidence supporting the link
62
00:02:28,350 –> 00:02:31,430
between social justice and health equity.
63
00:02:31,430 –> 00:02:34,850
– Racial disparities and
heart disease, stroke,
64
00:02:34,850 –> 00:02:38,980
and other chronic conditions
exist and are well documented.
65
00:02:38,980 –> 00:02:42,870
African Americans are also more
than likely to be uninsured.
66
00:02:42,870 –> 00:02:44,670
There is also scientific evidence
67
00:02:44,670 –> 00:02:47,400
that African Americans physical
68
00:02:47,400 –> 00:02:50,180
and mental health is negatively impacted
69
00:02:50,180 –> 00:02:52,733
by the inequities that exist.
70
00:02:54,030 –> 00:02:57,730
Add this to the fact that in
the midst of a global pandemic
71
00:02:57,730 –> 00:03:01,290
and given barriers to health that exist,
72
00:03:01,290 –> 00:03:04,110
African Americans and
other people of color
73
00:03:04,110 –> 00:03:06,583
are disproportionately
impacted by COVID-19.
74
00:03:07,600 –> 00:03:09,230
– The American Heart Association
75
00:03:09,230 –> 00:03:12,060
has championed health
equity for all people
76
00:03:12,060 –> 00:03:13,690
for nearly a century.
77
00:03:13,690 –> 00:03:16,140
And we are more determined than ever
78
00:03:16,140 –> 00:03:19,630
to eliminate racial and class disparities.
79
00:03:19,630 –> 00:03:21,690
We will redouble our commitment
80
00:03:21,690 –> 00:03:24,200
to overcoming barriers to health
81
00:03:24,200 –> 00:03:27,330
and to addressing social inequalities.
82
00:03:27,330 –> 00:03:31,020
– We must stand together
as a relentless force
83
00:03:31,020 –> 00:03:34,420
for a world of longer healthier lives.
84
00:03:34,420 –> 00:03:37,210
That is our mission, our contribution
85
00:03:37,210 –> 00:03:39,400
to a more equitable society.
86
00:03:39,400 –> 00:03:42,610
– People are counting
on us like never before.
87
00:03:42,610 –> 00:03:47,610
We will listen, we will drive
change, we will be relentless.
88
00:03:48,480 –> 00:03:51,933
Thank you for your support
and thank you for listening.
89
00:03:55,075 –> 00:03:57,658
(upbeat music)
90
00:04:35,110 –> 00:04:36,410
– Good morning, everyone.
91
00:04:36,410 –> 00:04:39,020
I’m Rich Caniglia from News10NBC,
92
00:04:39,020 –> 00:04:42,700
very proud to co-emcee with Stacey Pensgen.
93
00:04:42,700 –> 00:04:44,800
And wanna welcome everybody this morning
94
00:04:44,800 –> 00:04:46,280
for the 30th anniversary
95
00:04:46,280 –> 00:04:51,280
of the 2020 Virtual
Rochester Heart Walk and Run.
96
00:04:51,610 –> 00:04:52,570
– Before we begin,
97
00:04:52,570 –> 00:04:55,270
I wanna introduce you
to a very special guest.
98
00:04:55,270 –> 00:04:57,940
Austin Giorgio is not
only a Rochester native,
99
00:04:57,940 –> 00:05:00,330
but he’s from NBC’s The Voice.
100
00:05:00,330 –> 00:05:02,650
So everybody, stand, and where you are,
101
00:05:02,650 –> 00:05:03,740
put your hand on your heart
102
00:05:03,740 –> 00:05:06,023
while Austin performs the National Anthem.
103
00:05:07,880 –> 00:05:09,480
– Hello, Austin Giorgio here.
104
00:05:09,480 –> 00:05:11,150
For those I haven’t had a chance to meet,
105
00:05:11,150 –> 00:05:14,040
I’m actually a Rochester based
recording and touring artist.
106
00:05:14,040 –> 00:05:17,280
And today I want to say,
thank you and welcome
107
00:05:17,280 –> 00:05:20,780
to the Virtual 2020
Rochester Heart Walk and Run.
108
00:05:20,780 –> 00:05:22,830
And it is the 30th anniversary.
109
00:05:22,830 –> 00:05:24,910
So I do wanna quickly say thank you
110
00:05:24,910 –> 00:05:26,610
to not only to all of you watching,
111
00:05:26,610 –> 00:05:28,710
but also everyone in the organization
112
00:05:28,710 –> 00:05:31,150
that bring a better life to
everyone that they touch.
113
00:05:31,150 –> 00:05:33,070
So without any further ado,
114
00:05:33,070 –> 00:05:35,070
I’d like to sing the
National Anthem for you
115
00:05:35,070 –> 00:05:37,840
in my home studio and kick off the event.
116
00:05:37,840 –> 00:05:38,873

134
00:07:24,380 –> 00:07:26,630
That was a wonderful way to help kick off
135
00:07:26,630 –> 00:07:29,270
our Virtual Heart Walk and Run.
136
00:07:29,270 –> 00:07:32,730
And today we celebrate
individuals like myself
137
00:07:32,730 –> 00:07:36,830
who have survived cardiovascular
disease or a stroke,
138
00:07:36,830 –> 00:07:38,010
as well as to honor those
139
00:07:38,010 –> 00:07:40,070
that have taken steps towards building
140
00:07:40,070 –> 00:07:41,600
a healthier lifestyle.
141
00:07:41,600 –> 00:07:43,150
– This is also an opportunity
142
00:07:43,150 –> 00:07:44,890
to celebrate the fundraising efforts
143
00:07:44,890 –> 00:07:48,340
that support community programs,
prevention, COVID work,
144
00:07:48,340 –> 00:07:51,240
and the research right here
in the Rochester community.
145
00:07:51,240 –> 00:07:52,780
So be sure to share your photos,
146
00:07:52,780 –> 00:07:55,040
encourage your friends,
your family to donate
147
00:07:55,040 –> 00:07:58,230
and share your stories today
and throughout the weekend.
148
00:07:58,230 –> 00:08:00,290
– Follow the American Heart Association
149
00:08:00,290 –> 00:08:02,900

152

and hashtag ROCheartwalk.
153
00:08:14,330 –> 00:08:16,670
– And now I am pleased
to introduce the Chair
154
00:08:16,670 –> 00:08:21,250
of the 2020 Rochester Heart
Walk and Run, Pete Giovenco.
155
00:08:21,250 –> 00:08:24,070
He’s the President and CEO of Bergmann.
156
00:08:24,070 –> 00:08:25,233
Pete, take it away.
157
00:08:26,190 –> 00:08:28,910
– And I’m actually in
the City of Rochester,
158
00:08:28,910 –> 00:08:32,150
ready to do my Heart Walk and Run
159
00:08:32,150 –> 00:08:35,000
in this great city that we all live in.
160
00:08:35,000 –> 00:08:37,190
And I wanna take this
time to thank everybody
161
00:08:37,190 –> 00:08:39,870
for your participation in today’s event,
162
00:08:39,870 –> 00:08:42,220
because without you, none of the work
163
00:08:42,220 –> 00:08:46,320
that the American Heart
Association does is possible.
164
00:08:46,320 –> 00:08:49,150
And that great work goes
back to our community
165
00:08:49,150 –> 00:08:52,230
and our community needs
it, especially now.
166
00:08:52,230 –> 00:08:55,330
With this COVID-19 pandemic,
167
00:08:55,330 –> 00:08:59,620
$2.5 million have been put
back into research and advocacy
168
00:08:59,620 –> 00:09:01,290
to help stop the pandemic
169
00:09:01,290 –> 00:09:03,440
from the American Heart Association.
170
00:09:03,440 –> 00:09:04,820
So thank you.
171
00:09:04,820 –> 00:09:07,840
I also wanna thank my
Executive Leadership team
172
00:09:07,840 –> 00:09:10,060
because none of this would be possible
173
00:09:10,060 –> 00:09:13,100
without the great support of a great team.
174
00:09:13,100 –> 00:09:15,230
And that team consists of
175
00:09:15,230 –> 00:09:19,400
Paychex, CooperVision,
Rochester Regional Health,
176
00:09:19,400 –> 00:09:22,790
M and T, UR Medical Center,
177
00:09:22,790 –> 00:09:27,790
Dixon Schwabl, Wilmorite,
Consiliarium Group,
178
00:09:28,220 –> 00:09:33,220
RIT, my alma mater,
Bonduelle, Butler/Till,
179
00:09:34,230 –> 00:09:38,120
Workers United Rochester
Regional Joint Board.
180
00:09:38,120 –> 00:09:41,600
Without their help, I
couldn’t make this happen
181
00:09:41,600 –> 00:09:43,600
and we all did it together.
182
00:09:43,600 –> 00:09:46,350
And it’s with great pride and pleasure
183
00:09:46,350 –> 00:09:51,350
to announce next year’s 2021
Rochester Heart Walk and Run,
184
00:09:52,260 –> 00:09:57,260
chair of people are, Keith
Williams and Jen Graney
185
00:09:57,520 –> 00:10:00,370
from the great company
of Consiliarium Group.
186
00:10:00,370 –> 00:10:01,550
And I know
187
00:10:01,550 –> 00:10:04,600
since they were on my executive
leadership team this year,
188
00:10:04,600 –> 00:10:07,430
that they will do an awesome job.
189
00:10:07,430 –> 00:10:09,980
So thank you, Keith and Jen,
190
00:10:09,980 –> 00:10:12,753
and I’ll be there to support
you next year as well.
191
00:10:13,800 –> 00:10:16,860
So thank you for your participation.
192
00:10:16,860 –> 00:10:20,699
I look forward to your
Walk and Run videos,
193
00:10:20,699 –> 00:10:23,127
have a great day.
194
00:10:23,127 –> 00:10:24,347
– Hi, my name is Keith Williams,
195
00:10:24,347 –> 00:10:27,313
I’m the Managing Partner
at the Consiliarium Group.
196
00:10:27,313 –> 00:10:29,210
Our commitment to health and wellness
197
00:10:29,210 –> 00:10:31,760
is reflected through our corporate culture
198
00:10:31,760 –> 00:10:32,960
and local initiatives
199
00:10:32,960 –> 00:10:36,490
to promote healthy
choices for our employees.
200
00:10:36,490 –> 00:10:38,960
We are always looking for
ways to extend that culture
201
00:10:38,960 –> 00:10:41,690
throughout our community,
which is why Consiliarium
202
00:10:41,690 –> 00:10:43,210
is very proud
203
00:10:43,210 –> 00:10:47,040
to not only share next
year’s Heart and Walk Run
204
00:10:47,040 –> 00:10:52,040
but also to sponsor the
2020 Lifestyle Change Award.
205
00:10:52,600 –> 00:10:55,630
This award is about making
simple lifestyle choices,
206
00:10:55,630 –> 00:10:59,120
including a healthy diet,
getting regular exercise
207
00:10:59,120 –> 00:11:03,180
and knowing your numbers to
fight cardiovascular disease,
208
00:11:03,180 –> 00:11:05,950
for making outstanding
lifestyle improvements,
209
00:11:05,950 –> 00:11:08,420
to live longer, healthier lives
210
00:11:08,420 –> 00:11:11,840
as well as to help others in
our community do the same.
211
00:11:11,840 –> 00:11:13,870
We are very excited to announce
212
00:11:13,870 –> 00:11:16,973
two Lifestyle Change Award winners.
213
00:11:17,910 –> 00:11:19,230
– Thanks Keith for kicking off
214
00:11:19,230 –> 00:11:21,040
the Lifestyle Change Award announcement.
215
00:11:21,040 –> 00:11:22,280
My name is Jennifer Graney.
216
00:11:22,280 –> 00:11:24,767
I’m one of the Partners
at Consiliarium Group.
217
00:11:24,767 –> 00:11:27,560
I’m really excited to
announce the two winners today
218
00:11:27,560 –> 00:11:30,510
at the American Heart Walk and Run.
219
00:11:30,510 –> 00:11:32,860
I’m gonna first start off
with Mary Beth Brendel.
220
00:11:32,860 –> 00:11:34,410
Mary Beth is a school nurse
221
00:11:34,410 –> 00:11:36,360
at Victor Central School District.
222
00:11:36,360 –> 00:11:37,880
Over the last 30 years,
223
00:11:37,880 –> 00:11:42,280
Mary Beth has been fluctuating
in weight and struggling
224
00:11:42,280 –> 00:11:46,450
with getting on a
routine exercise program.
225
00:11:46,450 –> 00:11:48,380
Three years ago, she decided,
226
00:11:48,380 –> 00:11:51,730
look, I’m really gonna
take a lifestyle change.
227
00:11:51,730 –> 00:11:52,770
And she did.
228
00:11:52,770 –> 00:11:56,570
She began exercising on a routine basis,
229
00:11:56,570 –> 00:11:57,850
but she was also introduced
230
00:11:57,850 –> 00:12:00,280
to the documentary “Forks Over Knives,”
231
00:12:00,280 –> 00:12:03,890
which is a whole food plant based diet.
232
00:12:03,890 –> 00:12:05,860
Fast forward a year.
233
00:12:05,860 –> 00:12:08,030
She has lost significant weight.
234
00:12:08,030 –> 00:12:11,780
She resolved her hypertension,
her cholesterol went down
235
00:12:11,780 –> 00:12:13,790
and she went off of her medications.
236
00:12:13,790 –> 00:12:17,270
And then a bonus is that from her success
237
00:12:17,270 –> 00:12:20,290
through the documentary
“Forks Over Knives,”
238
00:12:20,290 –> 00:12:22,170
she was actually
239
00:12:22,170 –> 00:12:25,800
awarded being one of the top
10 success stories with them
240
00:12:25,800 –> 00:12:27,830
on their website, which is amazing.
241
00:12:27,830 –> 00:12:32,270
So congratulations, Mary Beth
on your lifestyle success
242
00:12:32,270 –> 00:12:34,220
and also being one of the winners
243
00:12:34,220 –> 00:12:37,290
of the Lifestyle Change
Award for the American Heart.
244
00:12:37,290 –> 00:12:40,900
Moving over to our second
winner is Doug Escher.
245
00:12:40,900 –> 00:12:45,240
Doug is the CEO of Dale Carnegie
Training and Leadership.
246
00:12:45,240 –> 00:12:48,360
And Doug over the past three months,
247
00:12:48,360 –> 00:12:51,370
particularly going through the pandemic
248
00:12:51,370 –> 00:12:52,790
and the New York State pause,
249
00:12:52,790 –> 00:12:55,157
he actually kind of took
a pause himself and said,
250
00:12:55,157 –> 00:12:57,980
“Look, I really need to
make a lifestyle change.”
251
00:12:57,980 –> 00:12:59,080
And he did.
252
00:12:59,080 –> 00:13:03,300
He lost over 30 pounds
in the last three months.
253
00:13:03,300 –> 00:13:05,220
He went off of his medications.
254
00:13:05,220 –> 00:13:09,930
He really decided to take a
change in his eating habits,
255
00:13:09,930 –> 00:13:12,760
being introduced to
vegetables and all of that.
256
00:13:12,760 –> 00:13:17,010
So he really is a success when
it comes to heart-healthy.
257
00:13:17,010 –> 00:13:20,520
His motivation was his
kids and his grandkids,
258
00:13:20,520 –> 00:13:22,710
and really wanting to recognize
259
00:13:22,710 –> 00:13:26,640
he wanted to be part of their
lives for a long time to come.
260
00:13:26,640 –> 00:13:28,550
So congratulations, Doug,
261
00:13:28,550 –> 00:13:31,620
we really feel that your story exemplifies
262
00:13:31,620 –> 00:13:33,543
the lifestyle change.
263
00:13:34,410 –> 00:13:36,730
And I just want to say congratulations
264
00:13:36,730 –> 00:13:38,550
to both Mary Beth and Doug
265
00:13:38,550 –> 00:13:42,610
on being the award winners
for the lifestyle change.
266
00:13:42,610 –> 00:13:45,390
I’d also like to thank the
American Heart Association
267
00:13:45,390 –> 00:13:46,640
for your work
268
00:13:46,640 –> 00:13:49,560
on heart-healthy and wellness
here in the community,
269
00:13:49,560 –> 00:13:51,730
but also worldwide.
270
00:13:51,730 –> 00:13:55,180
We really appreciate all
your efforts as well.
271
00:13:55,180 –> 00:13:58,450
Now I’m gonna turn it over
to the CEO of Paychex,
272
00:13:58,450 –> 00:14:00,860
Marty Mucci. Marty take it away.
273
00:14:00,860 –> 00:14:03,443
(upbeat music)
274
00:14:05,590 –> 00:14:08,620
– Hi, I’m Marty Mucci, president
and CEO of Paychex.
275
00:14:08,620 –> 00:14:12,120
On behalf of our nearly
16,000 employees company-Wide,
276
00:14:12,120 –> 00:14:15,230
Paychex is proud to
participate again this year
277
00:14:15,230 –> 00:14:18,110
in the 2020 American Heart Association,
278
00:14:18,110 –> 00:14:20,440
Virtual Heart Walk and Run.
279
00:14:20,440 –> 00:14:21,630
This community event
280
00:14:21,630 –> 00:14:23,700
is going to look a lot
different this year,
281
00:14:23,700 –> 00:14:26,170
but it’s just as important
as it’s always been,
282
00:14:26,170 –> 00:14:30,470
maybe even more so as we all
navigate the COVID-19 pandemic.
283
00:14:30,470 –> 00:14:32,240
The wellbeing of everyone in the community
284
00:14:32,240 –> 00:14:34,210
is top of mind for all of us.
285
00:14:34,210 –> 00:14:37,330
At Paychex, we share that
commitment to health and wellness
286
00:14:37,330 –> 00:14:40,230
for our employees and their
families here in Rochester
287
00:14:40,230 –> 00:14:42,360
and in the communities across the country
288
00:14:42,360 –> 00:14:44,350
where our employees live, work
289
00:14:44,350 –> 00:14:47,970
and serve our 670,000 clients.
290
00:14:47,970 –> 00:14:50,550
We might not be able to walk
and run altogether this year
291
00:14:50,550 –> 00:14:52,330
to support the Heart Association,
292
00:14:52,330 –> 00:14:53,760
but we can still participate
293
00:14:53,760 –> 00:14:57,760
in a safe, socially distant
way and do our part.
294
00:14:57,760 –> 00:15:00,780
Paychex has more than 750 employees
295
00:15:00,780 –> 00:15:03,220
and their families ready to walk or run
296
00:15:03,220 –> 00:15:04,780
and I will be among them.
297
00:15:04,780 –> 00:15:06,960
Thanks to the fundraising
our employees have done
298
00:15:06,960 –> 00:15:08,930
along with our company contribution.
299
00:15:08,930 –> 00:15:11,170
I am proud to share that
we have already raised
300
00:15:11,170 –> 00:15:14,880
more than $45,000 for the
American Heart Association
301
00:15:14,880 –> 00:15:17,110
through our involvement with this event.
302
00:15:17,110 –> 00:15:20,260
The way we walk or run
this year may have changed.
303
00:15:20,260 –> 00:15:22,010
We’ll be together virtually,
304
00:15:22,010 –> 00:15:25,300
but the why we walk and
run remains the same.
305
00:15:25,300 –> 00:15:27,330
My grandchildren are my why.
306
00:15:27,330 –> 00:15:29,500
I want them to continue to grow and thrive
307
00:15:29,500 –> 00:15:31,080
in a safe, healthy world.
308
00:15:31,080 –> 00:15:33,240
And I want to be here for years to come
309
00:15:33,240 –> 00:15:35,360
and be part of their lives.
310
00:15:35,360 –> 00:15:38,070
Paychex is proud to be
the presenting sponsor
311
00:15:38,070 –> 00:15:40,320
of the Heart Run again this year.
312
00:15:40,320 –> 00:15:42,130
And two of our executives have signed on
313
00:15:42,130 –> 00:15:45,620
to lead our team of Paychex
runners, virtually of course.
314
00:15:45,620 –> 00:15:48,180
I wanna thank both Tom
Hammond and Ted Jordan
315
00:15:48,180 –> 00:15:50,990
for leading the way when
they head out to run.
316
00:15:50,990 –> 00:15:53,480
And I wanna thank all
of our Paychex employees
317
00:15:53,480 –> 00:15:55,610
and their families and all of you
318
00:15:55,610 –> 00:16:00,010
for being part of the 2020
Virtual Heart Walk and Run.
319
00:16:00,010 –> 00:16:01,823
Stay safe and have a great day.
320
00:16:10,682 –> 00:16:12,170
10.
321
00:16:12,170 –> 00:16:13,520
Nine.
322
00:16:13,520 –> 00:16:14,710
Eight.
323
00:16:14,710 –> 00:16:16,020
Seven.
324
00:16:16,020 –> 00:16:17,604
Six.
325
00:16:17,604 –> 00:16:18,884
Five.
326
00:16:18,884 –> 00:16:20,310
Four.
327
00:16:20,310 –> 00:16:21,524
Three.
328
00:16:21,524 –> 00:16:22,905
Two.
329
00:16:22,905 –> 00:16:23,738
One.
330
00:16:24,613 –> 00:16:25,446
Ready.
331
00:16:27,805 –> 00:16:30,472
(upbeat music)
