It’s a fact, I’m heartsick over the heart health of women in this country.

Do you know that heart disease is the number one killer of women, taking close to 500,000 lives each year, far surpassing breast cancer, diabetes and other causes of death?

The reality, however, is that heart disease is highly preventable, yet research shows that many women don’t even know they’re at risk. Why? For a myriad of reasons women often put their health last on the list, despite their best intentions.

I say enough is enough. It’s time for each of us to take a stand and take action about our heart health.

That’s why I created the Take Your Health To Heart Challenge. The Challenge motivates and inspires women across the country and around the world to make heart-healthy lifestyle changes that help prevent heart disease and significantly reduce risk factors. Heart disease has affected people in my own life and I’m determined to help spread the word and encourage women to truly take their health to heart.

Here’s where I need your help.

My goal is to inspire at least 1 million women to take the Challenge and get heart healthy.

The Challenge is simple. It’s about making a pledge to take exquisite care of your heart and tools to inspire you to do so. Simply click the link below to learn more, sign up, and get into action - it only takes a moment and it doesn’t cost a thing.
