What is National Wear Red Day and How Can I Help?

National Wear Red Day
Friday, Feb. 1
Working at a health insurance company this is a good thing to get out to the public

this is from the website http://www.goredforwomen.org/national_wear_red_day.aspx

Join with thousands of women, companies and organizations and cities across America on National Wear Red Day, Friday, February 1, 2008. By wearing red and making a donation, you'll help the American Heart Association support ongoing research and education about women and heart disease. As always, another way to join the celebration is to Shop Go Red by selecting Go Red apparel, accessories and more, available from our sponsors!

I fully support the AHA in spirit, but I don't have time to keep track of what colors to wear or not to wear to support a cause. I wear what is clean, comfortable and practical each day. I also would rather give a direct donation that buy a red shirt - another gimick to me...Anyway, off my soapbox today...I am glad they are making women aware of heart-related issues!!!!...and that is from a CPR/First-Aid instructor and the EMT in me (will a family history of heart trouble).Women tend to brush off the symptoms and they are different then men, usually are more of an "ill" feeling overall rather than heart pain or pressure and they often miss the cues of a heart attack.
