Description: Go Red for Women is the American Heart Association's national movement to end heart disease and stroke in women. Learn more, get involved, and take action!
Go Red for Women is looking for its 2024 Real Women Class of Survivors! This annual group of passionate heart disease and stroke survivors share their personal stories to empower other women to be aware of their No. 1 health threat – cardiovascular disease.
It’s no longer just about wearing red; it’s no longer just about sharing heart health facts. It’s about all women making a commitment to stand together with Go Red and taking charge of their own heart health as well as the health of those they can’t bear to live without. Making a commitment to your health isn’t something you have to do alone either, so grab a friend or a family member and Go Red today.
