Heart disease is still the No. 1 killer of women, taking the life of 1 in 3 women each year. This means women just like you - mothers, sisters, friends - are dying at the rate of one per minute because they don’t know what you know: heart disease kills.
Heart disease has already touched you or someone you love, so help us save a woman’s life today. Make It Your Mission to fight heart disease in women and stop the No.1 killer. The American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women asks you to bring your network into our network.
Tell 5 women you want them to live, and we can help stop heart disease in our lifetime.
