Go Red Save Lives
Many people don't realise that heart disease is the leading single cause of death in women. It kills four times as many women as breast cancer - and while breast cancer is an important health issue - New Zealand women need to be just as vigilant about their heart health.
In New Zealand, more than seven women die from heart disease every day. But the good news is that heart disease is largely preventable. Go Red for Women is the Heart Foundation's campaign to boost awareness of heart disease in women and to raise vital funds for heart research and cardiac care.
Go Red for Women is also about empowering women with the knowledge to take action now, care for their heart and help reduce their risk.
