My "Why" is simple - I walk to support the American Heart Association in fighting against a woman's greatest health threat - cardiovascular disease.
AHA's initiative, Go Red for Women, encourages awareness of the issue of women and heart disease, and also action to save more lives. The movement harnesses the energy, passion and power women have to band together and collectively wipe out heart disease. It challenges them to know their risk for heart disease and take action to reduce their personal risk. It also gives them the tools they need to lead a heart healthy life.
The AHA uses all revenues from local and National Go Red for Women activities to support awareness, research, education and community programs to benefit women. What a powerful cause!
Your donation to the AHA will fund groundbreaking research that literally keeps hearts beating and helps people have longer, healthier lives - and supports the Go Red for Women initiative!
Will you have a heart and help me reach my goal today?
