Friday, June 8: It’s only come to light in recent years that heart disease among women is indeed insidious. While much has been promoted about the typical signs of a heart attack in men, it was just assumed that women suffered the same symptoms. But thanks to research that assumption was proved to be wrong. Women are totally different once again.
The unfortunate fact is one in three women die from heart disease each year. Surely, that number can be improved with a little education and effort.
That’s what so great about the Go Red for Women luncheon at the Hilton Anatole. Luncheon Chair Lora Villarreal, Honorary Chair Nancy Leiberman and Social Chair Mary Gill have put together a great lineup. Not only will world record-setting champion Jackie Joyner-Kersee be the keynote speaker and heart-disease survivor Renee Tichnor relate her experience, there will be “breakout sessions” in which health and fitness experts will discuss how to avoid becoming a victim of this #1 killer of women.
BTW, if you’re a gent, you might want to make a reservation for your favorite gal. . . a gift from the heart for a heart.
