GO RED is February 1st and the American Heart Association asks women across the United States to wear red to help raise awareness of heart disease. This treatable disease is the leading cause of death of women in the U.S. GO RED's campaign is the first step in raising awareness.
The strength of mothers, sisters, daughters and friends, fighting side by side is more powerful than any killer. So, what do you say? Are you ready to jump in and join the fight? I hope so. Because together, we can put an end to heart disease.
I would like to give a shout out to my sister, Marien, who recently appeared in Cleveland Magazine's "Go Red" feature. Her tireless efforts to raise awareness have only begun as she has taken on her important leadership role!
Congrats, Marien! I used an arrow to identify Marien, because nobody would ever guess we're sisters. I'm definitely the recessive gene in the family! |
Thanks for the life-saving post!
