Beaulieu's Bouckaert Chairs North Georgia Run

Dalton, GA, June 3, 2010--Beaulieu owner Carl Bouckaert was named chairman for the North Georgia Start! Heart Walk.

Bouckaert can speed walk five miles at under an hour. He's also been an Olympic-class Three Day Equestrian competitor with his Belgian team.

Nearly 1,000 runners ran the two-mile course to raise money for charity. Beaulieu of America associates raised almost $10,000, with the Beaulieu Bypass facility raising almost half of that, according to Dale Huffstetler, regional director of the American Heart Association.

Also recognized at the fitness event were Lifestyle Change Award winners from Beaulieu of America. Some had lost significant weight. Others had stopped smoking or had quit the need for prescription medications.
