As you probably know, on Friday,
February 3, 2006, Americans nationwide will celebrate the third annual
National Wear Red Day by wearing a
Red Dress Pin, the national symbol for
women and heart disease awareness, and their favorite red dress, shirt, or tie
to show their support for women's heart disease awareness.
We urge you
to take women's health to heart by spreading the word that heart disease is the
#1 killer of American women. Here are several suggested activities to get you
started. Use them to make a difference in women's lives in your community.
