An Awareness Campaign for Women with Heart Disease
"Helping women everywhere, become aware."

DID YOU KNOW THAT:

• HEART DISEASE—not breast cancer—is the leading cause of death among women in America?
• Approximately 500,000 WOMEN DIE from heart disease every year?
• Heart disease kills more than the next 7 highest causes of death combined?
  

With numbers like this, it could happen to you or someone you love. Many deaths from heart disease can be prevented.

DO YOU KNOW HOW?

I am a survivor of sudden cardiac arrest, which is very different from a heart attack.  A heart attack is when the heart convulses for lack of oxygen.  Sudden cardiac arrest is when the heart abruptly stops—often with little to no warning signs. 

It’s estimated that only 5% of witnessed victims survive and many of these with a seriously diminished quality of life.  I am a miracle.  And for what I experienced in the one minute or so that I was gone, I assure you we each have a spirit that will live after this body fails us.
