Your Story is the Heart of Go Red

Here's your chance to let your voice be heard! Starting on Feb. 1, women everywhere are invited to join Marie Osmond at the first-ever nationwide casting call for women’s heart health stories. You can share your story for a chance to become the official Heart of Go Red. The winner will represent the movement in 2008-2009 and possibly appear in a television special on women and heart disease.

We want to hear from you and hope you'll share your stories in one of these three ways:

• Starting February 1st, survivors, family members, friends and heart health professionals can share their story via video or written story here
• If you're in NYC, go to the shops at Columbus Circle in the Time Warner Building (59th & Columbus Circle) on February 1st, 2008, from 10am–9pm EST
• Visit one of our casting calls throughout the country. Over 20 casting calls in major cities will be held Feb. 1-22. Here is a list of dates and cities. Please check back for updated information. 

Your unique story is a vital part of the Go Red movement. So please, pass it on. Honor and celebrate you. Every time your story is heard, you've helped a heart in the future. The deadline for entries to be considered the heart of Go Red is February 22, 2008 at 11:59pm.
