National Wear Red Day is Friday, February 3, 2012. What is Wear Red Day? We're glad you asked!

In 2004, the American Heart Association (AHA) faced a challenge. Cardiovascular disease claimed the lives of nearly 500,000 American women each year, yet women were not paying attention. In fact, many even dismissed it as an “older man’s disease.” To dispel the myths and raise awareness of heart disease as the number one killer of women, the American Heart Association created Go Red For Women – a passionate, emotional, social initiative designed to empower women to take charge of their heart health.

Go Red For Women encourages awareness of the issue of women and heart disease, and also action to save more lives. That is why the staff at SureFire CPR & First Aid is joining in the fight to raise awareness by wearing Red this Friday. We encourage everyone to join us in this show of support for the women in our lives.
