WHAT & WHO:
The CRF Women’s Heart Health Initiative is holding a yoga fundraiser on Tuesday, April 25th led by noted expert and senior instructor Tanya Boulton at Pure Yoga West in New York City. This is a wonderful opportunity to reduce stress and take care of your heart while raising money for heart disease research and education for women.
WHY:
Cardiovascular disease remains the number one killer of women, yet many are unaware of their own risk factors and how to manage them. 80% of heart disease and stroke events may be prevented by lifestyle changes and education (Source: AHA).
The CRF Women’s Heart Health Initiative aims to reduce gender disparity in cardiovascular care through research and education. We hold several of Mini-Med School seminars throughout the year featuring leading experts who give New York area women the tools to take better care of themselves and their loved ones. Donations will help raise awareness through education and expand our efforts to increase female representation in cardiovascular clinical trials.
