just a little heartfelt thanks via blog to the american heart association, the go red for women team, and of course our lovely team of 5 fitlosophy bloggers that blogged their little hearts out over the past 12 weeks to raise awareness around heart disease, the #1 killer of women. below is a synoposis of the big impact this little campaign had – read on for stats, facts, and press coverage. CHEERS (with heart-healthy red wine of course) to a successful initiative and to what we hope becomes an ongoing partnership to make a difference in this world.
with all my HEART,
angela

Hi Angela, my name is Melissa and in addition to being a blogger, I’m also the community manager for the American Heart Association’s Facebook and Twitter pages. Thank you soooo much for your efforts — it really means so much to us and we appreciate all you’re doing to help raise awareness. It means so much to me, personally and professionally, to know just how many women out there believe in this cause like me. Thank you — on behalf of AHA and myself. Sincerely, Melissa
thank you for reaching out! i’ve enjoyed this campaign so much and am thankful that the american heart association has been such a big support of our efforts. like you, we just want to make a difference in the lives of others and this campaign has probably been just as good for each one us, as it was for those that read our blogs! so thank YOU and i appreciate you reaching out. spread the word of this little wrap-up blog post on twitter and facebook if you’d like to show how a little grassroots effort started by anyone can truly have an impact. much love!
