It is a very special
honor to be a Heart Throb and have an opportunity to support Go Red for
Women. Like so many in our society, I did not realize the heavy toll that
heart disease takes on women. Let's all do our small part by supporting Go
Red for Women.
Having spent 44 years
in college athletics, it's been a pleasure watching the phenomenal growth of
women's sports. Ladies all over the world are becoming faster, stronger and
better than ever in all levels of competition. I am in awe while watching women
play college soccer, basketball, softball, tennis, volleyball, swimming and
golf. They are truly wonderful athletes doing activities that, for
many, will be a part of their adult lives. Also, the interest level
for young girls and women who want to play a sport and to stay in shape is at
an all-time high.
This movement bodes
well for women, and for maintaining healthy hearts. I reside in a development
where the standard activities for women include walking, swimming, golfing,
playing tennis and exercising in a wide variety of ways.
Education, nutrition
and participation are part of the answer.
