This is a cause that is important to me. Heart disease and stroke became personal when my dad had open heart surgery in 2007, followed by major bleeding strokes in 2009, 2010 and 2014. He is why I am committed to raise money for research for heart and stroke disease.
Each year heart disease and stroke cause 1 in 3 women's deaths--more than all cancers combined. Go Red for Women-Madison works to help reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke in women by offering educational programs, and providing tools and motivation to take charge of their health.
My goal is to raise $5,000 to support the 2017 Madison Go Red For Women. For every $1 raised in Madison, nearly $3 comes back to fund life-saving research being done at UW-Madison.
Please help me reach my goal with your contribution today. Together, we can make an impact on the health of women and families in Madison and Dane County.
