Go Red For Women

TNT supports the American Heart Association and stands along side the organization in the stand against heart disease. Don't forget to wear RED on Friday, February 1st.

Go Red For Women - Wear Red February 5th

Six years ago, the American Heart Association started a movement to empower women to take control of their health and lower their risks of heart disease - our leading cause of death! This movement is called Go Red For Women.

I have been a volunteer for the American Heart Association for many years and serve as an ambassador for this campaign. Tomorow is National Wear Red Day and I encourage both men AND women to wear red and show your support.

As women, we tend to pt other people first - our family, friends, neighbors and the list goes on. Our health is a priority!

I encourage you to ...

Take the Go Red Heart CheckUp:
It is not enough to be aware of the risk factors associated with heart disease. You must take action to prevent it. The Go Red Heart CheckUp is an online tool that provides a 10-year, personal heart disease risk assessment. Once completed, women take their results to their healthcare provider and develop a personal health plan that matches their individual needs.

Wear the Red Dress pin:
Millions of Americans have added the red dress pin to their wardrobe to support the women and heart disease movement. It's cute, makes a statement and its free when you join the movement!
Participate in National Wear Red Day - February 5, 2010:
The American Heart Association encourages women to wear red – whether it is a red dress, a red t-shirt, a red dress pin or red lipstick. Show the world you passionately support Go Red For Women, the movement to improve women’s heart health and save lives.

I look forward to seeing you all in red tomorrow! Thank you for joining me!

This Heart of Yours

I've mentioned Circle of Red and Go Red for Women a lot in this blog and I'd like to briefly talk about what it is and why they are important. Heart disease is a leading cause of death for women and Go Red for Women is a national campaign to raise awareness as well as inspire women to take charge of their own heart health.

Circle of Red is a group of women who have the resources and influence to significantly impact the community by providing personal commitment to help find a cure of heart disease through funding research grants, education, and community outreach programs among other things.

Both are parts of the American Heart Association, a non-profit that is very dear to me, they offer programs that makes a difference in people's lives and is very dedicated to get one step closer to a cure.

We'd like to get more women (and the people who loves them) to get involved in this wonderful cause, please contact me if you'd like additional information at angela (at) tntgetfit.com.
