WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women | ||
campaign on the occasion of its 10th National Wear Red Day; and | ||
WHEREAS, Targeting females at risk for heart disease, the | ||
Go Red for Women movement emerged 10 years ago and has helped to | ||
spare the lives of some 627,000 women and taught countless others | ||
to heed the dangers of heart disease; and | ||
WHEREAS, National Wear Red Day reminds women that heart | ||
disease is the most common cause of death among American women | ||
and that awareness and proactive risk reduction are the primary | ||
safeguards against this insidious disease; and | ||
WHEREAS, Cardiovascular disease causes one in three deaths | ||
among women each year; it is an equal-opportunity threat that | ||
affects an estimated 43 million women in the United States; since | ||
1984, more women than men have died each year from heart disease | ||
and the gender gap in survival rates continues to widen; and | ||
WHEREAS, National Wear Red Day is an important initiative | ||
in the effort to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease | ||
among women in this country; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd | ||
Legislature, hereby commend the American Heart Association's Go | ||
Red for Women campaign on its outstanding efforts to improve | ||
cardiovascular health among women and extend best wishes for a | ||
successful and productive 10th National Wear Red Day; and, be it | ||
further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared to | ||
commemorate this special day. | ||
