National Wear Red Day is an important day to raise awareness of heart disease for Women. In fact, cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death for Women.
National Wear Red Day
Did you know that one in three Women die from heart related conditions? When the American Heart Association launched this back in 2004; it was first started to raise money to fight this disease.
Since 2004, this is not only about wearing the color red; but also to improve your life and those of other Women nationwide.
