Did you know that 1 in 3 women die from heart disease & stroke? That’s more than all forms of cancer combined! But we can change that – 80% of cardiac events can be prevented.
Please join me in supporting Go Red For Women, the movement educating women that heart disease is our number one killer, and raising funds to change that fact.
I Go Red because the overall health and wellness of women is important to me. I am the oldest of four daughters, I have LOTS of females in my family, and I am surrounded by a staff of lovely, hard working ladies at Associates in Pediatric Dentistry every day. Not only do I have family members who have been affected by heart disease, but my staff and I have the privilege of caring for many patients with congenital heart defects and/or heart disease, as well.
You can support the women in your life through a donation to this cause. I have set a $15,000 fundraising goal. I know it's a stretch, but why shouldn’t I reach high for an incredible cause that's making such an impact for women and families everywhere? I invite you to consider a gift that is meaningful to you. You can help make a difference in this fight!
How else can you help? Get educated. Encourage friends and family members to go in for annual well-woman visits. Know your numbers. Know your risk factors. Know your history. Then take action! Exercise, eat better, and take care of your body. After all, we only get one.
Thank you!
