This week's program once more seeks to acknowledge the importance of National Heart Health Month, with the help of our guests, Jia Wu and Lee Crain. Jia was in the prime of her career as an Army Captain in the military, under 30, when she received shocking news: she was experiencing mini-strokes, Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIA). She shares some of that journey with us, stressing self-advocacy. We'll then hear from Lee, chairperson for Circle of Red, which is the giving society for Go Red for Women, and for which she is also a volunteer. Go Red for Women is the American Heart Association's movement to raise awareness and advocate for changes in support of women’s cardiovascular health. And of certain cardiovascular diseases, including heart disease and stroke, which have collectively been labeled the leading killer of women. Each year, supporters of the American Heart Association celebrate the accomplishments of the Go Red movement at an event called the Go Red for Women Experience. The event features inspirational speakers, live auctioning, and opportunities for networking with leaders in the realm of cardio health. The 2024 event is: Thursday, March 7, 5:30 p.m. at Victory Hall in Seattle. For event info, visit www.heart.org/pugetsoundgored
