The American Heart Association's Go Red for Women Real Women are national volunteers selected to represent a diverse sisterhood of survivors, who actively, urgently and passionately champion the Go Red for Women movement. Often the surprising faces of cardiovascular disease, the Real Women share their powerful survivor stories to raise awareness of heart disease and stroke in women and inspire others to take charge of their own health and mental well-being.
