Go Red For Women is crucial in driving local support to fund life saving research and to educate women.  Though we have made great strides in the advancement of women's cardiovascular health, we still have far to go.  We need your help now so that our mothers, sisters and daughters have a chance to fight this silent killer.  By sharing a commitment to speak up, spread the word and support the research, you can help save lives. 


Go Red For Women is the American Heart Association's solution to save women's lives.  Too many women die each year because they are unaware that heart disease is their No. 1 killer.  One in three women suffers in silence - many not even realizing they are at risk, and almost one woman dies every minute of this largely preventable disease!  Go Red For Women believes that bringing women together empowers them to bring a voice to this silent killer to help save lives.

Friends of Heart is a very special group of people that support the Go Red for Women cause through their financial contributions and their impact on the community as supporters of the cause. Friends of Heart are people whose support advocates for women’s health and are determined to save lives.


 
Karin Caro's Story
When I was a little girl, I remember my mother falling to the ground holding her chest and screaming, "my heart...my heart!"  She had rheumatic fever when she was 12, 18 and 19 which effected her heart and left her with a murmur.  In 1982, she had pericarditis which resulted in heart attack...and left me worried all the time that my mother would die of a heart attack.  I am fortunate that she didn't (although my family will always worry) but 7 years ago, my husbands mother did. It came out of the blue, a phone call on my way back from an event...that she unexpectedly passed.  She left 4 sons, 13 grandchildren (4 are my children) a husband.  No child should have this worry or sadness, at any age.  That is why I am proud to be the 2013 Go Red Honoree and I ask you to help The American Heart Association with their mission to build healthier lives that are free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke.
