What is Men Go Red For Women?
Go Red For Women is the American Heart Association’s national campaign to increase awarenessof heart disease — the leading cause of death for women — and to inspire women to take charge of their heart health. One movement of Go Red For Women is the Men Go Red For Women. This movement is made up dynamic, committed and passionate men who significantly impact the community through their dedication, in honor of the women of Northwest Indiana. These dynamic men leave a LEGACY. They are ambassadors for the life-saving mission of the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association.
