Rock Red for American Heart Month

Rock red for American Heart Month! So, heart disease is the number #1 killer of women. In 2004, the American Heart Association started an initiative to address one of women’s biggest health risks.

Rock Red

First and foremost, raising awareness is essential to women everywhere. To learn more about this disease that impacts men and women worldwide; visit my American Heart Month February post.

At the same time, Wear Red is observed yearly on the first Friday of February. Because the entire month of February is American Heart Month; it is essential that you support cardiovascular disease.
