Shipbuilders Break Heart Walk Record More than 1,000 NNS employees, family and friends signedup for the Hampton Roads Heart Walk, the largest group of employees from one company to ever register for this event. NNS-registered participants walked approximately twomiles around the Peninsula Town Center Oct. 17. “I came out to show my support for those fighting heart disease and also those who have been affected by the disease in one way or another,” said Foreman Kimberly Jordan-Dillard. “My mom has congestive heart failure and my best friend has a defibrillator, so I see the struggles they go through. I think it’s great that we as a company can participate in an event like this. NNS’ support here is amazing.” General Foreman Charles Wilson was a member of the “Sub Shop Happy Hearts” team. “My mother and father both had heart issues so I like supporting the Heart Walk to bring awareness to heart health,” he said. “I try to get our team at work to support causes like this – we like to volunteer as a team.” CONTINUED ON PG 2
