You are never to old to appreciate the love and support of your parents! This is my chance to publically thank my parents for all that they do for me and our family. Their strong faith, marriage (over 40 years now) and unending support has been a rock for our whole family (I know my two brothers would agree). Sunday, February 8, 2009
As Always...Mom and Dad Supporting my cause
You are never to old to appreciate the love and support of your parents! This is my chance to publically thank my parents for all that they do for me and our family. Their strong faith, marriage (over 40 years now) and unending support has been a rock for our whole family (I know my two brothers would agree). 
Faith-Based Go Red Event
Today I assisted with blood pressure checks at Trinity Lutheran Church in Spencer, IA. I checked blood pressures and had many women get signed up with Go Red.
National Wear Red Day
Buena Vista Regional Medical Center in Storm Lake Iowa helped support the American Heart Association and Go Red for Women by having their employees wear red on February 6th, National Wear Red Day. I was on site in the afternoon to say "hi" to my former co-workers. We had a good turnout at the event and registered many new women to Go Red. Thanks BVRMC!

Go Red for Women Casting Call - Des Moines
February 5th was the 2009 casting call for Go Red for Women in Des Moines. I am pictured with Haley Armstrong, Marketing Director AHA, and Kris Fettkether, Communications Director AHA Des Moines. There was a great turnout and many women shared their stories of surviving cardiovascular disease and/or making choices to live heart healthy. Maybe we will see some of our local faces on the national Go Red site next year!
