Heart disease is the leasing cause of death in women in the United States. I am committed to supporting the 2018-2019 Capital Region Go Red Movement.
Why? This is my WHY...
Heart disease has impacted my family in recent years. My mother received a pacemaker close to a decade ago, followed by open heart surgery and several valve repairs/replacements in 2014 and a minor stroke in 2017.
I have personally witnessed the pain, confusion and lasting impact of heart disease. My mom is forging ahead with life and battling through the effects of congestive heart failure. I am beyond thankful for the research conducted by the American Heart Association, which informs us of the best steps to take in order to live a long, healthy life and keep our hearts happy.
I have made a commitment to encourage healthier habits in my circle and ask you to do the same!
Please donate to this year's Go Red for Women. Any amount will help support the continued research that are helping women, like my mom, understand more about the causes and management of heart disease.
Thank you!
Sarah
