We believe this innovative approach has the potential to inspire our young audience to lead healthier, more active lives, and we’re excited to see the positive impact of this integration.”
“The Heart Hero characters will engage with players throughout the in-game experience. For each interaction players will receive an in-game performance boost,” said Raymond Vara, volunteer chairman of the board of the American Heart Association and President and CEO of Hawai`i Pacific Health in Honolulu, Hawai`i. “This is an important opportunity for the American Heart Association to meet kids where they are to share the benefits of mental and physical health to help them grow to reach their full potential.”
