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.
Maine Woman of Impact - Spring 2026
Maryna Shuliakouskaya
I am honored to be a 2026 Woman of Impact for the American Heart Association. I accepted this nomination in memory of someone very special to me, my family, and our Aroma Joe's community-my business partner's wife, who passed away due to heart health issues. She left behind a loving husband and two beautiful daughters she adored. She was the heart of her family-planning gatherings, looking forward to travel, and cherishing every moment she could spend with her grandsons. Her loss is a constant reminder that heart disease doesn't discriminate and that women are too often taken far too soon.
As a business owner, leader, and mother of three daughters, women's health is not an abstract issue for me-it's deeply personal. Everything I do, from building businesses to mentoring leaders and investing in communities, is rooted in creating opportunity, strength, and longevity for women and families.
Heart disease remains the number one killer of women, yet many still don't recognize the risks, the symptoms, or the urgency. That's why this campaign matters. Through Go Red for Women, we focus on education, prevention, research, and advocacy-so women receive the care and attention they deserve, before it's too late.
Thank you for standing with me. Together, we can honor those who matter most and create lasting change for women's heart health.
