Take Care of Your Heart
The American Heart Association has found that: “Heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases are the No. 1 killer of American women, claiming the lives of more than 450,000 American women each year.” The American Heart Association has several campaigns to raise money to support their mission:
“Building healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke.”
Go Red for Women and the Jump Rope For Heart are 2 of the programs, maybe you can help.
Feburary 6, 2009 is National Wear Red Day to support Go Red for Women.
Go Red For Women is a movement passionately dedicated to helping women fight back against heart disease, the No. 1 killer of women in America. By putting our passion together with positive action, we can continue to educate other women about their risks and help them find their own personal path to better health for life.

Mason and Anna were able to take part in the Jump Rope For Heart program at their school last week. Both kids even wanted to make their own financial donation. They both did a great job helping others.
