Why I'm Fundraising
I'm excited to be nominated for Go Red for Women's Woman of Impact campaign. As part of this year's class of changemakers, I've brought together a team that's working to make the greatest impact possible on women's health. We will be raising much-needed funds for the American Heart Association and working to improve the health of our communities. I hope we can count on your support!
In 2004, Go Red For Women was born as a campaign to raise awareness among women about their greatest health threat — heart disease. Slowly, the campaign grew into a movement bringing together thousands of women. Go Red for Women is the trusted, passionate force for change. It provides a platform for women and their families to lead healthier lives and transform communities. It's not just about wearing red. It's not just about sharing heart-health facts. It's about:
- Providing opportunities for women to take charge of their health
- Building communities that support access to healthy choices
- Demanding equal access to health care for all women and their families
- Increasing women in STEM in upcoming generations
Our team is focused on preventing heart disease and stroke. We're promoting healthy lifestyles, building awareness and raising critically-needed funds to support research and education initiatives. Cardiovascular diseases, which include heart disease and stroke, claim the life of a woman about every 80 seconds. We hope you will join us on our mission because about 80% of these diseases may be prevented.
The time is now. Women are leaning into the idea that when we take a stand, commit, and work together, real change is possible. To support my campaign, click on the Donate to Nominee button below.

I’m excited to be nominated for the American Heart Association Go Red for Women movement's Woman of Impact campaign. As part of this year’s nationwide class of changemakers, I’ve brought together a team that’s working to make the greatest impact possible on women’s health. We will be raising much-needed funds for Go Red for Women and working to improve the health of our communities. I hope we can count on your support!
Since 2004, Go Red For Women has been addressing the awareness and clinical care gaps of women's greatest health threat, cardiovascular disease. The global movement is dedicated to walking hand in hand with women at every age, every stage, and every season as a trusted health partner.
When I was 15, my life took an unexpected turn as I received the devastating news of my beloved grandmother's passing at the age of 58. She was the personification of strength and kindness, a guiding light in my life, as I was raised for the most part by my grandmother. Her warm smile and gentle wisdom touched the hearts of everyone who knew her.
Our team is driven to prevent heart disease and stroke. We’re building awareness, promoting healthy lifestyles, and raising funds to support research and education initiatives. Why? because losing even one woman to cardiovascular disease is one woman too many.
