Go Red for February
Did you know that women are far more likely to die of a heart attack than anything else, including all kinds of cancer?
February 1st was National Wear Red Day for heart disease awareness. I’m a little late in posting this, but I thought it was still a good idea to post. Better late than never even if it’s too late to wear red for the cause. Go to the website, take a health assessment, join the movement, make a donation, or buy some Go Red stuff. It’s for a good cause.
As a side note, I searched all over hell for an HTML image to post for this entry and could find nothing. I even emailed them and got no response. That may be my answer as to why the Pink Ribbon people are making huge amounts of money and have raised awareness to an almost annoying level, and yet the Go Red movement is virtually unknown. Hmmm… something to think about.

Two years ago the American Heart Assoc had a convention here in Dallas and gave out little pins of a red dress. Maybe try AHA if you haven’t?
I read recently that women who get drunk once a week are twice as likely to die of a heart attack. Moderation in all things I guess. (I hate when my Mom was right all along!)
