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.
Rochester Woman of Impact - Spring 2026
Carla Scheiber
As the owner of Lovely You Aesthetics, it is deeply important to me that the work we do is meaningful and centered on caring for the whole woman.
My background as a labor and delivery nurse, followed by my work as a Family Nurse Practitioner focused on women's health, has shaped how I practice today. While I now work in medical aesthetics, my approach remains rooted in empowering women to care for themselves. What I have consistently seen is that when women feel better about themselves, they are more likely to engage in caring for their overall health and well-being.
Women's heart health is a critical part of that mission. Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in women, and risk often begins earlier than many realize. Pregnancy-related conditions such as preeclampsia can serve as early indicators of future cardiovascular disease, reinforcing the need for long-term awareness, prevention, and research focused specifically on women.
For these reasons, I chose to partner with the American Heart Association and accept the nomination as a Woman of Impact. This partnership aligns closely with my values-not only to raise awareness, but to raise essential funds for research dedicated to women and cardiovascular disease.
I am honored to support the Go Red for Women-Woman of Impact campaign and to use my platform to advocate for better research, better care, and better outcomes for women.
Thank you for standing with me in support of women's heart health.
