Go Red For Women National Casting Call February 5, 2010

Go Red For Women® Holds National Casting Call to Find Women Choosing to Speak Up To Spread Awareness of Their No. 1 Killer
Share Your Story for the Chance to Represent Go Red For Women and Appear in a National TV Special on Women and Heart Disease

Too many women die each year because they are unaware that heart disease is their No. 1 killer. Right now, one in three women die of cardiovascular disease and 90 percent of women have one or more risk factors for developing heart disease in the future. On February 5th, the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women® movement is launching a nationwide call for stories and inviting women to Speak Up about heart disease.

Jennie Garth, actress and Go Red For Women spokesperson, will kick off the national casting call at Macy’s Herald Square in New York City. Additional casting call events will be held in more than 25 cities across the country.

Go Red For Women is looking for women to share their heart stories and the choices they make to live a heart-healthy lifestyle, empowering others by example. Women who share their stories have the chance to become a spokesperson for the cause – representing Go Red For Women in marketing materials, at events, on GoRedForWomen.org and possibly in a national television special about women and heart disease.
