It is an honor to be nominated for the American Heart Association Go Red for Women movement's Woman of Impact.
Advocating for women’s health is my passion. Inspiring others to do the same, is my intent. It is truly a privilege to serve as an ambassador for a movement that focuses on collaboration and education to further women’s health.
As your woman of impact, my goal is not only to connect the minds and hearts of those who are advocates of women’s health, but to also usher the crusade that has been long fought by those before me.
As part of this year’s nationwide class of changemakers, I’ve assembled a passionate team dedicated to making a lasting difference in women’s health, one of whom is Noelle Hunter. Noelle is a passionate young heart survivor and a fierce advocate for our cause. It is therefore no surprise that she was also nominated for Women of Impact this year. Unfortunately, due to her cardiac battle, she will be unable to complete her campaign this year, as planned. Thus, I have dedicated my campaign to Noelle.
Together, we aim to transform women’s health by raising essential funds for:
Funding Science and Research: For too long, women have been underrepresented. In fact, less than 40% of research participants are women.
Women’s Health Through the Life Course: As a woman ages, her risk for cardiovascular disease changes. Yet the majority of heart attacks and strokes can be prevented through education and healthy living.
Bridging the Gap: Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of women, yet women are underdiagnosed and undertreated. From receiving bystander CPR to facing inequities in care, women deserve better.
I hope we can count on your support in this important mission, so that we and the women in our lives may be stronger and healthier, together.
