I'm participating in this fundraiser to support heart health because it's personal for me. I live with heart disease and my family has a history of heart disease and stroke.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for U.S. women, killing roughly 1 in 3, or one woman every minute. Nearly 45% of women over age 20 live with cardiovascular disease, yet only about half recognize it as their greatest health threat.

These experiences have shown me how important awareness, research, and access to care are. I hope to make a difference in the lives of those affected by heart disease and help fund initiatives that save lives
