Go Red and save your heart

Issued by: The Heart and Stroke Foundation SA
Go Red for Women is an international movement aimed at increasing awareness amongst women of the risk factors and signs of heart disease. The Heart and Stroke Foundation SA (HSFSA) will be hosting a Go Red for Women Wellness Workshop on 19 September at the Riverside Hotel in Durban, to raise funds and awareness of this campaign.
“Women still see heart disease as a man's disease, so it is my hope that this event, while being fun and entertaining, will be eye-opening and educational for all who attend,” said Adeliah Jacobs, Go Red for Women Brand Manager, HSFSA.

Dr Pravin Maharaj, a renowned Cardio-thoracic surgeon at Life Westville Hospital, will provide important information on empowering you to save your heart, and much loved Women24.com Editor, Sam Wilson, will present on “A Girl's Guide to Liking Yourself”. Ladies will also be in the company of well known East Coast Radio DJ, Dave Guselli, as Master of Ceremony for the Wellness Workshop.

“We are excited to be partnering with the Heart and Stroke Foundation SA once again and we believe the Go Red for Women Wellness Workshops will go a long way towards encouraging women, their partners, friends and family members to make healthier lifestyles choices. Cigarette smoking is one of the biggest risk factors for heart disease and stroke, so we encourage women to consider quitting. Nicorette has a wide range of nicotine replacement therapy products to suit the individual needs of smokers and has a 25-year clinically proven treatment track record,” said Vanessa Sew Chung Hong, Brand Manager for Nicorette, national sponsor of the Go Red for Women Wellness Workshops.

Ladies are asked to wear red for the event to show their support for women's heart health.

Guests will receive the following at the Wellness Workshop:
  • A free gift from Elizabeth Arden to the value of R200
  • A goodie bag filled with gifts from our partners
  • A free copy of the award-winning magazine heart
  • A free Go Red for Women Pin
  • Free membership to the Go Red for Women Movement with incredible discounts from partners
  • A delicious and nutritious heart healthy breakfast
