National Wear Red Day is a tribute to women who have dealt with or have overcome heart disease.

Did you know that heart disease is the number one killer among women in the United States?

Scary isn’t it?  I have a dear family member that was diagnosed with heart disease a few months and it is indeed scary.

You can show your support by wearing red today to celebrate National Wear Red Day.  Or you can choose your very own Wear Red Day at your office or your community to teach awareness and show your support any day of the year.

About the movement:

Go Red For Women celebrates the energy, passion and power we have as women to band together to wipe out heart disease and stroke.

Millions of people across the country, the color red and the red dress now stand for the ability all women have to improve their heart health and live stronger, longer lives.

Visit GoRedforWomen.org for more information and get your free red dress pin.
