Go Red For Women is crucial in driving local support to fund life saving research and to educate women.  Though we have made great strides in the advancement of women's cardiovascular health, we still have far to go.  We need your help now so that our mothers, sisters and daughters have a chance to fight this silent killer.  By sharing a commitment to speak up, spread the word and support the research, you can help save lives.

Go Red For Women is the American Heart Association's solution to save women's lives.  Too many women die each year because they are unaware that heart disease is their No. 1 killer.  One in three women suffers in silence - many not even realizing they are at risk, and almost one woman dies every minute of this largely preventable disease!  Go Red For Women believes that bringing women together empowers them to bring a voice to this silent killer to help save lives.


 
5 years ago on 10/29 I had a heart attack. I had 100% blockage in my LDA. Dr. said another 10 minutes I would have died. I am very lucky to have survived, my brother did not survive his. 14 months later I had a defibrillator implanted in my chest. The damage to my heart put me at risk for sudden cardiac arrest. It changed me! Today I appreciate every day I am given. And I make time for all the people who are sooo important to me. tomorrow is not a given you don't know if you will see that person again. So much has changed in my life over the last 5 years. And good, bad and ugly, I am happy with who I am and the life I am living. I am very happy to be able to share my story and help the AHA inform women about the unique symptoms women have.
