The Heart Truth: A National Awareness Campaign For Women About Heart Disease

The Heart Truth campaign kicked off American Heart Month by bringing the Red Dress to life and rolling out the red carpet for the Red Dress Collection 2008 Fashion Show at New York Fashion Week. This signature event joined together celebrated women and designers such as Mrs. Laura Bush, Heidi Klum, Molly Sims, Sara Ramirez, Carmen Marc Valvo, and Donna Karan to remind women of the need to protect their heart health.

Millions spread The Heart Truth on February 1st by wearing the Red Dress Pin or their favorite dress, shirt, tie or red accessory to show their support for women's heart disease awareness. Learn how you can get involved with this life-saving awareness movement today.
