heart2007-05-17-1179404860.jpg     Go Red For Women is a national movement by the American Heart

Association designed to raise awareness of heart disease among women.

     Heart disease is the #1 killer of women, and kills more women than men

each year. Unfortunately, many women still consider it a "man's

disease" and are not aware of their risk.

· Heart disease and stroke are the #1 and #3 killers of women over age 25

· One in 2.6 women die of cardiovascular disease

· One in three women currently suffers some form of cardiovascular disease
