Help fund life-saving research and educational programs that are needed so that our daughters, sisters and mothers have a chance to fight this silent killer by raising money from family and friends.

Why Take Action?

  • Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women age 20 and over, killing approximately one woman every minute.
  • More women than men die of heart disease and stroke. 
  • 1 in 3 American women die of heart disease, compared to 1 in 30 women that die of breast cancer.
  • Ninety percent of women have one or more risk factors for developing heart disease. 
  • Eighty percent of cardiac events in women may be prevented if they make the right choices for their hearts, involving diet, exercise and abstinence from smoking.

In February 2004, the American Heart Association launched Go Red For Women, a nationwide initiative designed to raise women’s awareness of their risk of heart disease, communicate the simplicity of risk reduction and create a compelling call to action that drives women to take control of their health. Go Red For Women provides knowledge and tools to empower women to make positive changes in their lives that may help reduce their risk of heart disease and stroke.


 
Please help me raise money for the Upstate Go Red For Women. I am a 3x congenital heart defect survivor. I am NOT supposed to be alive today but by the grace of God- I am! I have had three open heart surgeries. I still need more surgery in the future to continually correct my heart defects as my body ages and grows and works hard to keep up with my active lifestyle. Primarily, I need a pulmonary valve in the near future. The research funded by this organization has and can continue to lead to better innovations for repairs on hearts like mine. This organization helps educate and fund research that leads to better surgical options for my heart repairs, as well as put a stop to heart disease as a whole! This is literally a cause very close to my heart! Thank you, for your support!
