The American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women® works every day to fund research and fight this killer so that more women can be saved. But they need our help. Please celebrateNational Wear Red Day® on Friday, February 3, or any day to raise awareness about heart disease among women and the funds to ensure the research that could save a woman’s life
won’t have to be denied.
The American Heart Association uses all revenues from local and national Go Red For Women activities, like National Wear Red Day, to support awareness, research, education and community programs to benefit women. These funds help women by offering educational programs, advancing women’s understanding about their risk for heart disease and providing tools and motivation to help women reduce their risk to protect their health.
It is their mission and belief that together we can make a difference. This February 3rd we can join their mission, raise funds and rally support to fight this silent killer.
How you and I can Make It Our Mission to fight heart disease among women:
· Wear red on February 3rd
· Help raise funds through donations and fundraisers for lifesaving educational programs and the development of new treatments to fight heart disease
· Share information with the women in our lives about heart disease and how we can fight back
· Love our hearts by being physically active, eating a heart-healthy diet and being educated about heart disease and its risk factors
I hope you will join me in supporting this mission. If you would like more information on how you can become more heart healthy, or to find out how you can make a donation to this cause, please visit GoRedforWomen.org
