Atlanta Go Red For Women Connect – Saturday, Feb. 4th, 2012 - Macy's at Perimeter Mall

Has heart disease touched you or someone you love?  Do you want to know more about how to prevent heart disease?  The Metro Atlanta American Heart Association  encourages you to share your story for a chance to become a national or local spokesperson for the cause.   ONE in THREE American women suffer from heart disease, but only ONE in FIVE believe they are personally at risk.  Heart disease is STILL the No.1 killer of women, taking the life of one woman every minute. 1 in 3 women die of heart disease each year.  Go Red for Women is the American Heart Association’s national initiative designed to empower women to take charge of their heart health.  For more information,  go to www.goredforwomen.org
