I was born with a congenital heart defect, and my heart health has always been a high priority. Nutrition, exercise, and general awareness are small things that we can do daily to support our heart health. This is why I am proud to be on a team of changemakers making a real impact on the state of women's health.
Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of women. The American Heart Association Go Red for Women movement's Woman of Impact campaign is working to change that.
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.
This campaign is not just about sharing heart health facts. It's about all women connecting and committing to stand together against our greatest health threat.
The time is now. For yourself, your mother, your sisters, and all the beautiful women in your life. Are you with me? To support my campaign, click the Donate button.
