LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The American Heart Association is proud to announce partnerships
with WLFI News Channel 18 and WASK 98.7fm for the Go Red For Women
campaign. Go Red For Women educates and connects millions of women
of all ages. With one out of three women still dying from heart
disease, we continue to fight this No. 1 killer by helping women
turn simple choices into life-saving actions. Whether it's eating
healthier, exercising more, reducing our cholesterol, or quitting
smoking, Go Red helps women make these choices for themselves and
each other.
Go Red For Women is celebrated during February which is American
Heart Month, drawing attention to heart disease, America's No. 1
killer. Appropriately kicked off on National Wear Red Day (Feb. 6,
2009), the American Heart Association and its Go Red For Women
movement urge everyone to support the fight against heart disease
in women by wearing red that day.
Other Go Red For Women events include:
- National Wear Red Day
- City Goes Red
- Go Red Sunday
