"Heart disease is the No. 1 killer and kills more women than all forms of cancer combined," said Liz Schatzlein, Go Red For Women chair in Middle Tennessee. "Heart disease and stroke take the lives of 1 in 3 American women. Yet 80% of cardiac events are preventable, through education and lifestyle choices we make every day. Raising awareness is key to saving women's lives. By wearing red on National Wear Red Day, we show our support for the hearts of our mothers, our wives, sisters and daughters and we remind everyone that we can help end heart disease. We are grateful to everyone participating."
The American Heart Association launched Go Red For Women in 2004 to bring attention to women's heart health. For more information, visit, goredforwomen.org. The movement is sponsored nationally by Macy's and locally by Saint Thomas Heart.
