Join the movement

Together with your local member, you can help us to:

 Raise awareness on cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death in women
 Encourage a healthy lifestyle and empower women to take better care of their heart
 Urge healthcare professionals to focus an increased attention on women and cardiovascular disease
 Encourage more research into gender-specific heart health issues
 Appeal to policy makers and governments to include cardiovascular disease in women in their health agenda

Contact your local heart foundation and sign on to their programme!

You can discover more about the campaign run in your country here. If your national foundation is not running a Go Red for Women campaign yet, you can be the person encouraging them to start one. Many tools and tips are available for our members on the member-only section.

In the meantime, you can take action yourself:

 Share the fact that cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in women with 5 friends, and ask them to share it with 5 other people
 Send our viral email "Do you want to protect the women in your life from their number 1 killer?" to your friends.
 Learn your risks and the warning signs
 Take care of your heart
 Organize healthy activities with your family or at work: go for a walk, cook healthy meals, join or create a swimming or running team, participate to an intercompany sport challenge
 Did you or your friends and family survive a heart disease? Share your story and help raise awareness on these conditions
 Donate to support the campaign

 

Discover our member's campaigns here.

You can then contact your local heart foundation to sign on to their programme

Member organizations have access to tips, tools and ressources to start or develop their Go Red for Women campaign. Visit our Go Red for Women pages on the members area.
