Go Red For Women Saves Over 620K lives!

Go Red For Women.  Pull out your red outfit and wear it with pride.  

It has made a difference.  The American Heart Association discovered that heart disease killed more women than men.  And it killed more women that all the cancers combined.  I know I was surprise when I learned that fact.  

But this movement that is celebrated to raise awareness of this deadly disease in women has been making a difference.  Heres how:

• 34% fewer women now die from heart disease.
• More than 627,000 women’s lives have been saved.
• Nearly 90% of participants made healthy lifestyle changes.
• 37% have lost excess weight.
• More than half now exercise more.
• 60% now eat healthier diets.
• 43% have had their cholesterol checked.
• Women completing Go Red Heart Check-ups has increased from 127,227 to 1,960,704.
• Annual Go Red luncheons/events has grown from 65 to 1,377
