Description: |
American Heart Association asks women to show their support for the fight against heart disease in women by wearing red. It’s an easy, powerful way to speak up and show support for Go Red For Women®, the American Heart Association’s solution to save women’s lives. Go Red For Women invites women to Make It Their Mission and help save lives by telling 5 women from their personal network that they want them to live. At www.goredforwomen.org women can learn more about how to tell 5 and can donate to help save someone they love from heart disease. The Go Red For Women movement, sponsored nationally by Macys and Merck urges women to take charge of their cardiovascular health, make it a top priority and live a stronger, longer life.
Go Red For Women celebrates the energy, passion and power we have as women to band together to wipe out heart disease and stroke.
In 2004, the American Heart Association (AHA) faced a challenge. Cardiovascular disease claimed the lives of nearly 500,000 American women each year, yet women were not paying attention. In fact, many even dismissed it as an “older man’s disease.” To dispel the myths and raise awareness of heart disease as the number one killer of women, the American Heart Association created Go Red For Women – a passionate, emotional, social initiative designed to empower women to take charge of their heart health. |
