The Baton Rouge Go Red For Women Luncheon

On February 22, 2013, I had the honor of attending my second Go Red For Women Luncheon in Baton Rouge and modeled in the Go Red Fashion Show with fashions from our amazing partner Macy's.

Aside from the fashion show, I am on the speaker's bureau of the Capital Area American Heart Association, so I spoke on their behalf to media and groups throughout the day about the fight to end heart disease and why it is so important to me to do my part to make a difference.

The luncheon was a phenomenal day jam-packed with stories of heart disease survival and ways women can do their part to end heart disease. If you've read by previous blog post about the American Heart Association being the top fundraiser for actual medical initiatives to end the disease, then here's another fact for you: The 2013 Go Red For Women Net Fundraising =  $342,000!! That is AFTER expenses!

I am beyond proud to be a voice for the American Heart Association Across the state of Louisiana and nationwide and I hope each of you take the time to familiarize yourself with the organization and what it stands for. Heart disease is the Number 1 killer of women nationwide, and we're fighting to end that!
