While nearly 80 percent of cardiac events can be prevented, cardiovascular diseases continue to be a woman’s greatest health threat, claiming the lives of 1 in 3 women. That’s a third of our mothers, sisters, and female friends.

On this day of increased awareness, they’re also working to raise $2.5 million to provide funding for research to help treat and prevent heart disease and strokes.
