Welcome to my Heart & Stroke Canvass page!
We first started volunteering with Heart & Stroke many years ago when family members were having heart problems. While a personal connection got us started we soon realized how important heart and stroke research is to so many people.
Every year, Heart & Stroke canvassers across Canada raise funds for life-saving heart and stroke research.
This year’s campaign carries a powerful message: When it comes to women’s heart and brain health, it’s #TimeToSeeRed:
- Heart disease and stroke are the #1 cause of premature death for women in Canada
- Heart attack symptoms go unrecognized in 53% of women
- 2/3 of heart disease and stroke clinical research focuses on men
The numbers say it all. Women are under-researched, under-diagnosed, under-treated, and over-dying. It’s time to close the research gap and stop women dying unnecessarily. It’s #TimeToSeeRed.
By making a donation, you’ll become part of the push for change – shining a spotlight on the inequities and fueling the scientific discovery and collaborations needed to save lives.
Funding for research is needed for this crucial cause. Please donate to save lives and give the women we love #MoreMoments.
Please consider making a donation whether you currently have a personal connection or not. Thanks--Randy
