 The Community Outreach committee is going to lead a team in the Heart Walk this year on Saturday, March 17, 2012 at Westin Bridge Street Town Centre. The facts are clear. More women die of heart disease than all forms of cancer combined. Unfortunately, the killer isn’t as easy to see. Heart disease is often silent, hidden and misunderstood. The truth is: our lives are in our hands. We can stop our No. 1 killer together by sharing the truth. We can be the difference between life and death. Uncover the truth about heart disease and make ending it a reality: www.GoRedForWomen.org |
