TAKE ACTION: Ask Your Lawmakers to Join Us and Wear Red Friday

This Friday, February 3rd is Wear Red Day - our national call-to-action day to raise awareness that the number one killer of women is heart disease. You can help us make a difference on Wear Red Day by asking your lawmakers to join with us and wear red.


Fellow advocates Melanie Messick and Yolanda Dickerson have some thoughts for you on why this is so important:

"Cardiovascular disease is not just a man's disease. It is imperative that all women receive accurate information about the warning signs, early detection, proper diagnosis, and are offered quality treatment. I wear red in honor of all women who have embraced this message and taken the necessary steps to maintain a healthy heart. Send your message to your lawmakers asking them to wear red!"
-Melanie Messick, Co-chair, Triad Regional Advocacy Team

"Wear Red Day is a wonderful illustration of the power of simplicity. Anyone can show their support just by wearing something red. This sea of red can spark conversations that lead to more awareness, healthy lifestyle changes, and cures.These possibilities are why Wear Red Day is so important to me and my family. Act now and help us spread the message to your lawmakers."
-Yolanda Dickerson, Chair of the NC AHA Advocacy Coordinating Committee
