(Palm Beach Gardens, Florida) – Since 2003, people around the country have celebrated the Go Red For Women® movement on National Wear Red Day®, which falls on the first Friday of February. According to the American Heart Association, heart disease and stroke cause 1 in 3 deaths among women each year.
