Heart disease remains the #1 killer of both men and women, but your actions can make a difference. Save lives by standing up and speaking out against heart disease.
All across the country, people have been wearing red to show their support for the Go Red for Women campaign to help raise awareness of heart disease. Join Cooper in celebrating this year’s National Go Red day on Friday, February 4, 2011. Wear red and ask the men in your life to also support the cause.
