Once upon a midnight dreary, whilst I pondered weak and weary.
Over many a quaint and curious Tik Tok and Instagram doom scroll of
Forgotten lore--
While is scrolled, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping.
As of some one gently rapping, asking me to help some more.
“Tis Katleyn France!” I muttered “Asking me to help some more--
It is she, and I do adore!"
Ah, distinctly I remember, it was in the bleak December,
The many sick and dying ember of cardiovascular disease!
Sorry to break the rhyme scheme, but I think you get the gist! I am Alexandria Gosen, and I’m leo who enjoys gothic literature, long walks on the beach, and doing my part to help create awareness around cardiovascular disease!
Did you know that cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of women? Well, as a woman who doesn’t like being killed… that is CRAZY! Lucky us, The American Heart Association Go Red for Women movement's Woman of Impact campaign is working to change that, and my long time bestie, Katelyn France (Katelyn-Crustacean as I call her), is a part of that, and I am thrilled to be helping out!
Heart disease unfairly targets women, who have been left out of research, testing, treatment and funding. Women have been underrepresented, undertreated and undercounted. But it doesn't have to be this way. Because there's one source of support women can always count on - each other.
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.
