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.
Central VA Woman of Impact - Spring 2026
Liv's Lifesavers
For me, heart health is deeply personal. My journey with the American Heart Association began long before my nomination, it began in a hospital room when my son was born with a congenital heart defect. Experiencing the fear, faith, and fight that come with an unexpected diagnosis changed me forever. It opened my eyes not only to how fragile life is, but also to the power of awareness, advocacy, and early intervention.
As an executive in home healthcare, I’ve stood beside colleagues whose lives were forever changed by heart disease. Their strength fuels my passion to lead with purpose, to ensure every caregiver, client, and family has the knowledge and support to prioritize heart health. As women we are often prioritizing care for others ahead of our personal health, and I think that is even more prevalent in the healthcare industry. I want to use this platform to educate, empower and engage women across Central Virginia.
Through the Go Red for Women movement, I’m committed to turning pain into purpose by championing education, CPR training, and community fundraising that save lives every day. Being a Woman of Impact means standing together for the women we love, the families we serve, and the hearts that still need healing, including my own family’s.
