National Wear Red Day and Heart Month

February is American Heart Month and today is National Wear Red for Women Day. Women and men are encouraged to show their support by wearing something red. Go Red For Women invites you to show your support in your workplace by having a Wear Red Day event that the first Friday of the month, any other day in February, or all month long! It's a great way to raise awareness and help us fight heart disease, the No. 1 killer of women. In an effort to inform and improve the safety and well-being of women the American Heart Association set up this day. National Wear Red Day is concerned with spreading information about what heart disease is and how it can be prevented. Friday is National Wear Red Day! Love your heart!
