“The fight to end heart disease and stroke in women is relentless,” said Lori Groth. “The American Heart Association is committed to raising funding lifesaving research for women’s heart health. We are proud to support the Go Red for Women Luncheon in Hartford to raise awareness to the pivotal work being done for women’s health in Connecticut. ”
“It’s not just about wearing red. It’s not just about sharing heart-health facts. It’s about all women standing together with Go Red for Women — because 1 in 3 women die from cardiovascular diseases and losing even one woman is too many,” said Leigh Pechillo, Go Red for Women Director and heart survivor. “Now more than ever, we need to continue to make a difference in the heart health of women in Connecticut.”
“There’s something about the energy that builds when we meet in person for this movement and we’re looking forward to be being able to see one another and continue raising funds for this worthy cause.” said Groth.
