Momference: A Meeting of the Moms

As stated in an earlier post, Momference is committed to educating women on the perils of heart disease.  As women and moms, we often put our families and friends first, but heart disease will not wait.

Commit today to learn how you can have a healthy heart.  Encourage your family, friends, and children to join you. For more information how you can have a healthy heart and take the Go Red Heart Check Up, log on to www.GoRedForWomen.org.  Do it for your family….for those you love…but, more, do it for yourself!

Heart disease is women’s No. 1 killer

• The American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women movement is empowering women by raising awareness and helping them make healthy lifestyle changes.
• Cardiovascular diseases – including heart disease, stroke and other blood vessel diseases – are women’s No. 1 killer. They claim the lives of about 460,000 American women every year.
• More women than men die of cardiovascular diseases every year.
• The first Friday in February is National Wear Red Day. Adults and children wear red clothing to work or school to encourage all women to protect themselves from heart disease.
  • Women throughout the United States will conduct heart-health awareness activities around National Wear Red Day.
  • We invite you and your club/group/organization to conduct Go Red educational activities on the first Friday in February or another day of your choice.
  • Thank you for making a difference in your community. We can save lives through heart-health education and action.

 Show your support for women and the fight against heart disease.  Go Red in your own fashion and get others to participate! For more information on how to get your company, favorite local organization, or place of worship involved, log on to www.GoRedForWomen.org.
