I'm proud to be on a team of changemakers making a real impact on the state of women's health.
Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of women. The American Heart Association Go Red for Women movement's Woman of Impact campaign is working to change that!
Heart Disease runs through my family like a quiet inheritance no one warned us enough about. My grandmother died of a massive heart attack in 1984. My father died the same way in 1996. In May 2020, I lost my mother-also to a massive heart attack. Three generations. Same Cause. Different decades. The same devasting ending.
Now, I live with cardiovascular disease myself.
For a long time, heart disease was treated like something that "just happens", or worse a man's problem. But my family story tells a different truth. Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of women, and yet women are still underdiagnosed.
Together, we can engage more women in research. We can fight for access to care and treatments. And we can be a catalyst to create health solutions with women's unique health needs in mind, supporting them through every age, stage and season of life.
It's not just about wearing red. It's not just about sharing heart health facts. It's about all women connecting and committing to stand together against our greatest health threat.
