Heart disease is the number one killer of women. It is a fact. Unfortunately many women do not realize they are at risk for a stroke or heart attack. This is why it is important for everyone, not just women, to help raise awareness about this deadly disease.

Today, February 1, 2013, is “Go Red for Women” day across the country. Today kicks off heart disease awareness month. By wearing red today, you can join women across the country in helping to raise awareness about heart disease. In fact, by wearing red throughout the month of February, you can help raise awareness all month long! Even better!

You do not need to wear an all-red outfit today and everyday this month in order to help raise awareness about heart disease. By wearing one red item, whether it is an accessory, apparel item or a simple red ribbon pin, you will be helping raise awareness about heart disease everywhere you go.
