Go Red for Women is the
American Heart Association’s solution to save women’s lives.
Heart disease is still the number one killer of women,
taking the life of one in three women each year. Make
It Your Mission to fight heart disease in women.
Give five women you care about the power to save their lives
and invite them to join the American Heart Association on
Friday, February 3, 2013, National Wear Red Day.
“Thanks to the
participation of millions of people across the country, the
color red and the red dress have become linked with creating
awareness of heart disease in women,” said Jacqueline
Isherwood, executive director of the American Heart
Association, Northwest Ohio Division, “Go Red For Women is
channeling its energies and resources to challenge real
women nationwide to become the best they can be by signing
up for Go Red Better U. Go Red BetterU is the American Heart
Association’s free 12-week online program that can save your
life. Choose to be a BetterU at GoRedForWomen.org.”
On Friday, Feb. 3, show
your support of Go Red For Women, a nationwide movement that
celebrates the energy, passion and power women have to band
together and wipe out heart disease! Wear red to work, make
a donation to the campaign, and learn how to love your heart
by preventing heart disease. More than 10,000 companies
participate in Wear Red Day to show their support in the
fight against heart disease.
