February is National Heart Awareness Month and is part of a campaign to raise awareness about heart disease.
Today is Go Red for Women day and women are encouraged to wear something red to show their support for raising awareness about heart disease.
Much like the pink campaign for breast cancer, the American Heart Association is working to get the word out that heart disease is the number one killer of women in the U.S.
The breast cancer campaigns have been so successful over the last few years that heart disease is becoming a bit overshadowed. According to a Fox News report, many women believe that breast cancer is the number one killer of women in the U.S, not heart disease.
Wear something red today as a call to action to fight heart disease in our country.
