The annual Go Red for Women Luncheon is coming up this Friday, November 8 at the Grandview in Poughkeepsie.
Heart disease is a very big deal--the leading cause of death for women (did you know that?!). Most women don't even know whether they are at risk. Because of less than optimum diets, lack of exercise, busy and stressful lives where women customarily put the welfare of everyone else ahead of their own health, women need to be aware of the choices they can easily make (sometimes, we know, NOT so easily) so that this silent killer won't take them by surprise. Do you know, for example, whether or not you have high blood pressure? Hmmmm.
More than 80 percent of heart disease and stroke is PREVENTABLE just by making some lifestyle modifications, like the local women in the BetterU Challenge are doing. You'll hear their inspiring stories at the Luncheon--
The Theme this year is "Mother. Sister. Friend". The Keynote Speaker is Mara Schiavocampo, author and Special Correspondent for The Dr. Oz Show. Mara made significant health changes after the birth of her child and will be sharing her journey with everyone. This is an informative, motivating, inspiring and fun event designed specifically to address the serious issue of heart disease in women. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit here. Michelle and I are honored to be the emcees again this year. We hope to see you there!
