There’s something about reading a story about someone who has fought and beat heart disease or stroke. These nine remarkable individuals have gone above and beyond raising awareness of women’s cardiovascular health and are devoted to a world of healthier lives for all. These women are fighting to improve the lives of women globally, and are truly…women of impact.

“Serving as chair for the 2018 Go Red for Women campaign in Central Kentucky, I became aware that heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women in America, claiming a life every 80 seconds, which is more than all forms of cancer combined. Heart disease has also hit close to home for me and my family. My dad had congestive heart failure and he and his dad both died of aortic aneurysms, and my grandmother also endured challenges from heart disease.

In 2019, I was diagnosed with supraventricular tachycardia and now take heart medication daily. I have a passion for the work of the American Heart Association and am happy to work alongside incredible folks from across the country to help spread the awareness LOVE.”
