Think heart disease is a man's disease? Think again. Cardiovascular disease claims the lives of 500,000 women yearly, and that is 65,000 more women than men each year.

Joining in the battle against heart disease by raising awareness is renowned singer-songwriter Shania Twain, who is featured on the cover of Glamour's October special issue in a fabulous Red Dress. There is also an exciting photo spread and interview with First Lady Laura Bush wearing her Red Dress pin, and a centerfold photograph of 24 other celebrities, all wearing Red Dresses (some are from The Red Dress Collection)!

Additionally, the issue contains a feature article all about women's heart disease titled, "It's Time to Save Your Life." The article conveys The Heart Truth campaign's important message that heart disease is the #1 killer of women and urges all women to take this message to heart.

Be sure to get your Red Dress pin today!
