If you think heart disease only affects older men, you’re wrong. Heart disease is the number one killer of Australian women. In fact, women are four times more likely to die of heart disease than breast cancer.

Go Red for Women is the Heart Foundation’s campaign that unites women in the fight against heart disease – helping to raise awareness of their risk and promote healthier choices. 

Thank you to everyone who supported Go Red for Women month in June by wearing red, running your own event or joining over 17,000 people who signed up to the Healthy Heart Challenge! This is a fantastic result for the first year of the Challenge and over 10 weeks we will help participants improve their heart health.
