Welcome to Go Red For Women 2012.  I feel so strongly about the importance of heart health education, I am chairing this campaign for the second year.   As women, we have an incredible network and we must use our connections to spread the message on how to fight heart disease.  This year’s theme is “Tell 5, Make it Your Mission.”  Tell five women you care about that you want them to live!  At work, with friends, attending church, there are so many opportunities to tell women how important it is for them to take care of themselves, despite the busy schedules and pressures we all face.  Thousands of Charlotteans have done so already.   Please join us in this lifesaving mission.


Message From AHA CEO, Nancy Brown

for position only

Dear Friends,

We’re delighted you want to learn how you can advance health, stop heart disease and save women’s lives. That’s what Go Red For Women is all about.

Heart disease isn’t just a man’s problem. It’s a woman’s problem, too. In fact, it’s women’s No. 1 killer. And, tragically, far too few women realize their risk from this often-preventable disease. We need to raise women’s awareness, to protect our mothers, daughters, sisters, friends and other loved ones. And ourselves.

You can help, starting today. Here’s how:

First, take charge of your own heart health. Visit your doctor. Know your numbers (learn more at goredforwomen.org). You can improve your blood pressure, cholesterol and other numbers by making lifestyle changes. You’ll be healthier and look and feel better, too.

Second, speak up. Help spread the word that heart disease is women’s No. 1 killer. You can make a difference. Choose to share what you learn today with your family and members of your community.

Third and last, consider making a contribution. Your donation will help fund local and national Go Red activities to support awareness, research, education and community programs to benefit women.

Please don’t leave today without committing to make a difference. Join the Go Red For Women movement — women need your help. There’s so much to do, and so much at stake. Only one in five women believes that heart disease is her greatest health threat. Reducing risk and preventing heart disease starts with education — and you.

By working together, we can help women and their families live longer, stronger lives. Thank you for your generous support.

Warm regards,

Nancy Brown
Chief Executive Officer
American Heart Association
