About Us

Hearts to Heels was launched by Eli Sach in 2022 with the goal of raising awareness and fighting a woman’s greatest health threat — cardiovascular disease. Today, Hearts to Heels not only advocates for the health of all women by providing vital education to the community on the importance of lifestyle choices in combating heart disease, but is also committed to eliminating the distinct obstacles women face in experiencing better health and wellness. Hearts to Heels has collected and distributed hundreds of athletic shoes to indigent women in the greater Los Angeles area as a means of encouraging exercise and 30 minutes of walking per day, which has proven to drastically reduce the risk of a cardiac episode.
