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.

I’m excited to be nominated for the American Heart Association Go Red for Women movement's Woman of Impact campaign. As part of this year’s nationwide 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 Go Red for Women and working to improve the health of our communities. I hope we can count on your support!
Our team is focused on awareness of congenital heart defects and 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. As you know, our youngest daughter Mila, was born with her heart on the wrong side of her chest as well as a life threatening heart defect. She endured a 7 hour open heart surgery at just 4 days old. The recovery that followed was just as intense, especially when she contracted MRSA in her incision 6 weeks post surgery. We’ve been indebted to the medical teams that have helped her be the very normal kiddo you see today!
My husband and I have seen first hand what these funds do for treatment, care and overall heart health and would not be where we are without the research and innovation that The American Heart Association has provided.
This is where we need your help! We hope you will strongly consider supporting our campaign by making a tax-deductible contribution to support the AHA in their effort to support congenital heart defects and end adult cardiovascular disease. With your generous support, AHA can continue funding critical research and programming to ensure everyone has a chance to live longer, healthier lives.
