Randi and I recently attended a Go Red for Women event with the American Heart Association (AHA). We both have the same goal of helping others to create healthy lifestyles in order to prevent heart disease, a top five cause of death in the United States. We'll be doing a lot of partnership work with the AHA in the future so be sure to check back often because we'll pass educational information on to you!
