Tonight I attended the GO RED for women dinner at SUNY. It was mostly women, and a few token men on hand to eat a heart healthy meal and here inspirational stories of women who have survived heart disease. It was powerful to see the entire ballroom of women tonight all dressed in red.
It is a misunderstood disease and a huge killer of women. Women and those who love them need to educate themselves to learn more about the signs of heart attacks in women as the signs are atypical of men.
Please do what you can to support the GO RED cause and the American Heart Association. I was happy to pay the entry fee and to bring a silent auction item as our small part.
Our family was adversely affected by heart disease when it took my mom at 45 years old. She left a void in our lives but gave me the foundation I needed to lead the life I live today. I hope that I do as good a job rearing my boys as she did with me. Love you, mom.
