Medford resident Carol Michitson from Woburn-based Eastern Connection the largest regional express parcel service on the East Coast - recently participated in the American Heart Association (AHA) 3rd Annual "Lawyers Have Heart" 5K Road Race in Boston.
 

Volunteers from Eastern Connection, the official delivery service for this fund-raising event, provided a bag check and other services.

Michitson, director of customer relations, joined with nine other company employees to support AHA.

"Lawyers Have Heart" raises funds and awareness of heart disease and stroke. Sixty teams and more than 1,000 runners raised almost $200,000, more than double the previous year's amount.

"We have a long history of helping the American Heart Association through in-kind support for significant events like this and with pro bono deliveries," said Jim Berluti, president & CEO of Eastern Connection. "Fighting heart disease is important to us for many reasons, including the fact that our company was founded on Valentine's Day 27 years ago."
