Heart disease and stroke cause 1 in 3 deaths among women each year – more than all cancers combined. Fortunately, we can change that because 80 percent of cardiac and stroke events may be prevented with education and action.
Go Red For Women inspires women to make lifestyle changes, mobilize communities and shape policies to save lives. United, we are working to improve the health of all women.
We couldn’t make such an impact without generous donations from individuals like you. Here’s what donations helped Go Red accomplish in the past 10 years:
- More than 627,000 women have been saved from heart disease, and 285 fewer women are dying each day.
- Women’s guidelines, created by the American Heart Association, have educated millions of healthcare providers to recognize and treat heart disease in women.
- The number of women aware of their No. 1 killer has jumped from 22 percent to well over 50 percent.
Go Red For Women encourages awareness of the issue of women and heart disease, and also action to save more lives. The movement harnesses the energy, passion and power women have to band together and collectively wipe out heart disease. It challenges them to know their risk for heart disease and take action to reduce their personal risk. It also gives them the tools they need to lead a heart healthy life.
In 2010, the AHA set a strategic goal of reducing death and disability from cardiovascular disease and strokes by 20 percent while improving the cardiovascular health of all Americans by 20 percent by the year 2020.
Help us keep going for another 10 years. Here’s how you can donate:
- Join our Circle of Red. Fight heart disease with like-minded women. Women in the Circle of Red contribute significant resources and influence to fund lifesaving research, education and advocacy for heart health on a local and national level.
- Fundraise for National Wear Red Day®. Create a fundraising page and use our materials to help create awareness. Use these tools and resources to help organize and promote your fundraising event, or get together and educate colleagues, friends and family.
- Donate in honor of a loved one. Just like I have, you can make a donation of any size in honor or memory of a loved one.
