Today is the 10th Wear Red Day, to raise awareness of women’s risk for heart disease, and to honor survivors and those who’ve lost their lives. Heart disease is the #1 killer of American women.

I’m in a PSA

Last week I recorded this public service announcement with Twin Cities Fox 9 morning anchor Alix Kendall. (And while I’m getting more comfortable with the camera, I still have a ways to go!) This will air on open commercial slots on Fox 9 and my29, which means probably late at night and early morning. Best […]

Picture Day
By
Today was a pretty big day around here. The long-scheduled day when the American Heart Association communications team would interview me (and my husband) for a Go Red for Women video in our own living room. Our boys were filmed with us, doing regular family things like playing outside, eating a snack, and playing a game. […]

I’m very excited about my “very first” National Wear Red Day on Friday, February 3 – first post heart attack, that is. It’s a simple way to show women that raising awareness about women’s risk is important. But, having left my job last year to stay at home with my boys, I’m without a natural […]
