landmarks to news anchors and neighborhoods to online communities; this annual
groundswell unites millions of people for a common goal: the eradication of heart
disease and stroke. So wear red on February 5th to support the cause! You can also
start your own campaign or donate to a campaign by going to goredforwomen.org
