Did you know that heart disease is the #1 killer of American women and men? Just to prove how common heart disease is, I would like to share with you the fact that my father in law had gone for a heart bypass and one of my childhood friend had passed away suddenly only last year due to heart attack too.

However, the good news is that heart disease can be prevented. Hence, I am writing this to join the millions of people across the country to raise awareness on the knowledge and tools available in reducing the risks of heart disease.

Doing their part to take some positive action is Campbell, who is teaming up with six-time Grammy-award winner Toni Braxton and designer Lisa Perry to support the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women movement. Perry created three exclusive Campbell’s red dress designs, and America is invited to vote on its favorite by visiting GoRedWithCampbells.com from December 20, 2007 – January 30, 2008 . For each vote cast, Campbell will donate $1 to the American Heart Association (up to $100,000). The winning design will be unveiled by Braxton at the Woman’s Day Red Dress Awards to kick off American Heart Month (February).

You can easily help by spreading the word about this important campaign to help fight heart disease. Head over to  GoRedWithCampbells.com  for more information and tips on leading a heart-healthy lifestyle, and for a variety of healthy recipes.
