Sponsored Campaign: TBF Joins Diet Coke, NHLBI in the #ShowYourHeart: The Heart Truth® Campaign 2013

As I write this, there are 42.7 million women across the nation dealing with some form of heart disease. Of this number, at least one woman– a mom, a loving partner, a daughter, a friend, a terrific employee–dies every minute. In my case, the face of these statistics is my own grandmother.

She is my inspiration behind donning a red dress again this year, as we partner with Diet Coke®, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) on the annual The Heart Truth® campaign. Now on its eleventh year, the initiative aims to empower women everywhere with better understanding on how to take care of their hearts.

The Heart Truth

The campaign’s red letter day is on February 1st, when women are encouraged to bring out their favorite red shirt, shoe, or dress for the National Wear Red Day®.Other events planned this year are the annual Red Dress Collection Fashion Show (debuting on New York’s Fashion Week), the First Ladies Red Dress Collection, and The Heart Truth® Road Show.
