I lost a friend to heart disease many years ago. We were not bestest of buddies but we always hang out together after work hours just to get the stress out.
She may not have led the healthiest lifestyle but she came as an ordinary person with ordinary living habits. So when we found out about her passing, we were in shocked. I still remember when we attended her wake, her mother was sharing with us the importance of a healthy lifestyle; eat healthy and stay healthy. It was very sad to hear.
It has been so long that the memory of her kinda faded; until I saw Campbell’s Go Red’s banner which highly publicise the goal of American Heart Association’s Go Red movement; of which reminds me of her. Suddenly I have this urge to spread the awareness of heart disease prevention – all with positive actions and efforts to take care and reduce the risk of heart ailments.
I’m no angel but I’m sharing this in hope with this little awareness out, it helps save a life. What about you?
