Every year, on February 3, women across the nation unite to wear the color red. Why red? For one, the color red vividly stands out and makes a strong statement. The second reason, because heart disease is the No. 1 killer in women and red just so happens to be the color of the heart. In a statement from the www.goredforwomen.org, it reads “In 2003, the American Heart Association and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute took action against a disease that was claiming the lives of nearly 500,000 American women each year – a disease that women weren’t paying attention to. A disease they truly believed, and many still believe to this day, affects more men than women.”
This year will mark 15 years since the first National Wear Red Day. Since the day started, women across the country have been making changes in their daily lives.
They include:
Even though women have been improving their lifestyles, 1 in 3 women die of heart disease each year. We would all like to decrease that percentage, and since National Wear Red Day started, the death in women has decreased by more than 30%. Let’s keep going to reach 50%!
If you feel your mother, sister, daughter, or your female friend is at risk, please express your concern and try to make an impact in their life.
