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.

Why I’m Saying Yes to Go Red for Women
I’m honored to be nominated for Go Red for Women’s Woman of Impact campaign, supporting the American Heart Association—because heart disease has shaped my life for as long as I can remember.
I was diagnosed with aortic stenosis as a toddler and grew up under lifelong cardiac care. While I lived a full, active, symptom-free life for decades, I also learned early how important it is to listen to your body and advocate for yourself in medical spaces.
At 43, that lesson became life-saving.
After years of stability, I began experiencing subtle but real symptoms—shortness of breath and chest tightness—that were initially dismissed. I pushed for answers, trusted my instincts, and ultimately received a life-saving aortic valve replacement in June 2025. I’m here today because I refused to accept dismissal and had access to the right care at the right time.
That experience is why this campaign matters so deeply to me.
Why Go Red for Women Matters
Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in women, yet women are still more likely to have their symptoms misunderstood or minimized. Go Red for Women is working to change that—by closing awareness gaps, funding women-centered research, and empowering women to recognize symptoms and reduce risk at every age and stage of life.
My story is one example of why this work matters—but it’s far from unique.
