One in every three women die of heart disease and around 80% of cardiac problems in women can be prevented by proper lifestyle choices.

Proceeds of the event will move toward heart disease research, programs for women, educational materials and other efforts aimed at reducing heart disease and stroke.
Ninety percent of women have one or more risk factors for developing heart disease, and 80% of cardiac events in women could be prevented if they made the right choices regarding diet, exercise and abstinence from smoking, reported event organizers.
“Everybody in Utah should go red so we can really make a difference,” said Laura Western, Executive Director for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. “We can drive that research to find a cure for cardiovascular disease, and we’d love to get everybody involved in this movement.”
