Heart disease is still the No. 1 killer of women, taking the life of 1 in 3 women each year. This means women just like you - mothers, sisters, friends - are dying at the rate of one per minute because they don't know what you know: heart disease kills. But it can be prevented.
Sisters. Girlfriends. Colleagues.
You share everything from recipes and work/life tips to deep and emotional moments with the women in your life. Make sure you share how much you want them to live by passing on some lifesaving knowledge.
