Personal Fundraising Page for The Delaware Academy of Family Physicians
Go Red For Women is crucial in driving local support to fund life saving research and to educate women. Though we have made great strides in the advancement of women’s cardiovascular health, we still have far to go. We need your help now so that our mothers, sisters, and daughters have a chance to fight this silent killer. By sharing a commitment to speak up, spread the word and support the research, you can help save lives.
Go Red For Women is the American Heart Association’s solution to save women’s lives. Too many women die each year because they are unaware that heart disease is their No. 1 killer. One in three women suffers in silence – many not even realizing they are at risk, and almost one woman dies every minute of this largely preventable disease! Go Red For Women believes that bringing women together empowers them to bring a voice to this silent killer to help save lives.
