I am honored to be chair woman for the 2021-2022 Go Red for Women campaign, with the luncheon set to be in person on February 16th 2022. American Heart Association is very near and dear to me, as 15 years ago,  I suffered an episode that landed me in the hospital and in need of a cardiologist. Working on Long Island at the time, and attending the Go Red for Women luncheon, I had people I could reach out to for assistance. My diagnosis was treatable and honestly, minor in comparison to most. Too many of us have a loved one that has been affected by heart disease or stroke and most don't know the symptoms or have the resources I did to get help. Women especially, present different signs than men and chalk it up to being tired or overwhelmed. Education and research are so needed and with your support, we can help fund critical research and education to fight this number 1 killer.  Please help me raise money for Long Island Go Red for Women by clicking on my page and making a donation. Thank you.
