Support a Healthy Heart

This February show some love to the American Heart Association by supporting their Go Red For Women initiative. The national campaign raises awareness and educates the public about coronary heart disease, the number one killer of women, and hopes to reduce its occurence 25% by 2010.
Helping out Go Red For Women can be as simple as putting on your best red Friday February 6. National Wear Red Day, or participating in the events being held by the Lehigh Valley branch of the American Heart Association. Some activities include health screenings, fashion shows, and a luncheon all geared toward raising awareness of heart disease. You can make a donation to Go Red For Women year round at http://goredforwomen.org/donate.aspx, which will fund research into the causes, diagnosis and treatment of heart disease.
For more information on events held by the Lehigh Valley chapter of the American Heart Association contact Bianca Passalacqua at 610.867.0583
