February is “Go Red for Women” Month!
Why Go Red? Cardiovascular disease in the U.S. kills approximately one woman every 80 seconds. The good news is that 80 percent of cardiac events may be prevented with education and lifestyle changes. Go Red For Women advocates for more research and swifter action for women’s heart health. That’s why this year we are asking that you wear red on National Wear Red Day® by doing so you help support to increase women’s awareness that leads to critical research to discover scientific knowledge about cardiovascular health.

Go Red For Women is a movement that starts with YOU!! Lead by example and make the time to “Know Your Numbers.” It’s knowledge that could save your life. Five numbers, that all women should know to take control of their heart health are: Total Cholesterol, HDL (good) Cholesterol, Blood Pressure, Blood Sugar and Body Mass Index (BMI). Knowing these numbers can help women and their healthcare provider determine their risk for developing cardiovascular diseases. It’s time for all women to learn the most critical numbers in their life — their hearts depend on it. Walk with us and together let’s raise more awareness!! Bring your kids – your fur pets – your neighbors! Light and healthy snacks after walk! FREE FAMILY EVENT!!
