The annual Rhythm of Life walk/run event raised $71,500 for the Burnaby Hospital's healthy heart program and a new defibrillator for the emergency department.

The hospital's 13th annual Rhythm of Life: The Run and Walk for Everyone took place on Sept. 11 at Burnaby Lake Park.

The run began as a fundraiser for the Healthy Heart Program, but has become a major fundraiser for the hospital itself in the past two years.

The Burnaby Hospital Foundation took over organizing and running the event last year, to raise funds for hospital equipment.

There was a 10-kilometre fun run, a five-kilometre run or walk and a one-kilometre family stroll.
