All proceeds will go into the Rob Millisor Heart Health Fund at The Summit Foundation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The walk was created in honor of Millisor, the former owner and developer at Breckenridge Grand Vacations, who died of a heart attack during a humanitarian mission in Nepal in 2015.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">For Deb Edwards \u2014 the program manger of Breckenridge Grand Vacations\u2019 philanthropic wing, BGV Gives \u2014 it was simply amazing to see such an outpouring of love and support for Millisor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cI knew Rob for 30 years, how much he meant to this community, and he continues to be a part of our community,\u201d Edwards said as she broke into tears. \u201cRob was all about helping others, and even in our loss, he continues to show us how important it is to help others in our community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">This year\u2019s fundraising total is the second most after the first walk in 2016. The walks have raised more than $706,000 combined for local heart health programs, and grants from the Heart Health Fund have supported free monthly screening events at St. Anthony Summit Medical Center.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The money from the walks also has paid for heart-healthy cooking classes at Colorado Mountain College, Infant CPR Anytime kits for new parents in the area and the Keystone Science School\u2019s CATCH after-school program, which promotes physical activity and healthy eating behaviors in children.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Beyond that, the fund has bought automated external defibrillators for the Summit Community Care Dental Clinic and Breckenridge Grand Vacations\u2019 resort properties, and supported a communitywide CPR and defibrillator education program.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Donations for the walk and heart health programs in Summit County still can be made at <a id=\"N0x27a5f70N0x296cfb0:N0x27a5f70N0x2973640\" href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/news\/local\/breckenridge-heart-walk-raises-more-than-175k-to-boost-local-heart-health-programs-in-memory-of-rob-millisor\/BGVGives.org\/heart-health-walk\">BGVGives.org\/heart-health-walk<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/news\/local\/breckenridge-heart-walk-raises-more-than-175k-to-boost-local-heart-health-programs-in-memory-of-rob-millisor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Summit Daily<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Runners take off at the start of Robbie\u2019s Run 5K during the fourth annual Rob Millisor Heart Health Walk on June 8 in Breckenridge.
