2-2-11 / 4th snow day this school year

All across the country, people have been wearing red to show their support for Go Red For Women and to help raise awareness of heart disease. On Feb. 4, get out your red -- sweater, shoes, hat, purse tie, whatever! -- and start the conversation. All three of us will be wearing red. Will you?

Here is our "Heart Heroes Poster" It will be shown around Lincoln for the next year, so be on the look out.
The top corner of the poster says:Heart Patients and Survivors, Volunteers, and Advocates.

The bottom of the poster reads: Four year old Quin and her father John, are both heart survivors and patients. Susan as a member of the American Heart Association's Better U Challenge, has learned how to make their family's lives healthier. Heart issues have impacted this family at every turn - but their positive attitude to persevere through life's most challenging moments make them true heroes.


Well February is American Heart Month, the Heart Ball is here in Lincoln this Saturday, and we are sharing our story. There are also 6 posters that are going around Lincoln for a year, to share stories of “Heart Heroes”, so be on the look out.

Since we are turning into advocates, and I am loving it, here are a few facts:




So, what can you do about it? Get healthier! It's not easy, I know it, but it is necessary! Want ideas? Go to the American Heart Association Website.
