Feel Rich, Go RED!

The Fit Cycle to Partner with Feel Rich, Inc. and the American Heart Association for Go Red For Women® National Campaign: Cinematic wellness endeavor joins forces to celebrate 10th Anniversary of “Go Red” and the fight against heart disease
 
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

NEW YORK, NY (January 31, 2013) – Today The Fit Cycle announced that it will partner with the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women® campaign in coordination with Feel Rich, Inc.. February is American Heart Month and official celebrations commence on Friday, February 1, 2013 with the 10th annual National Wear Red Day. Awareness kick-off is on Thursday, January 31st and includes a RED lighting ceremony at the Macy’s Herald Square flagship store in New York City –the first iconic building to turn red.

Heart disease remains the No. 1 killer of women and the month’s fete aims to educate women of all backgrounds about the importance of prevention and care. “An estimated 43 million women in the U.S. are affected by heart disease, yet only one in five women believe heart disease is her greatest health threat,” explains Dr. Jennifer Mieres, Professor of Cardiology and Senior Vice President of Community and Public Health at North Shore – LIJ Health System. “That’s why it’s so important to understand your personal risk factors and often-overlooked common symptoms, and to share that information with the women you love.”

The Fit Cycle team created “Follow Your Heart” a fitness film to spotlight heart health awareness and the efforts of the American Heart Association; the work will be used to headline the #FeelRichGoesRed campaign.  Co-creator Andia Winslow explains, “it’s about following your heart and, most importantly, taking care of your heart. As women, we must take charge of our heart health. As friends of women, we must support our communities in education, prevention and action. Join the movement: Get it in where you can fit it in, Feel Rich and GO RED!”
