Heart disease is the number one killer of women, yet many women remain unaware of thier risk. Every year nearly 500,000 women die from heart disease. I have made it my personal mission to help change this statistic. I hope you will join me in this effort by first pledging to take better care of your heart.

I am proud to be a spokesperson for the Cheerios Circle of Helping Hearts (CCHH) campaign. The CCHH is a national campaign to raise awareness of women’s heart disease by supporting organizations that are educating and empowering women to take control of their heart health. Additionally, from now through January 2009, when you enter the codes found on specially marked Cheerios boxes (look for the red dress on the box), Cheerios will donate $1 to WomenHeart to support free cholesterol screenings for women in need.  Click here to visit the campaign’s website. I am also featured on the Cheerios Sisters Saving Hearts website. Please visit the site to see my video message and to nominate someone who has been a leader in the fight against heart disease.

With heart and style,

Judy Lubin, MPH
