Whenever February rolls around, I think of the color red which associates with the American Heart Month, and Valentine’s Day.  Better lifestyle habits can help us reduce our risk for heart attack, and maintain our wellness program. 

Go Red & Give - Donate today and help save lives!  Help the American Heart Association to raise $100,000 by Feb.12 for critical research and outreach programs.

Naturally, there are other health awareness events connected to the month of February.  Campbell Soup Company is launching the fourth year of its heart-health campaign with a personal touch.  It sponsored the Project Runway challenge as part of the company’s “AdDress Your Heart” campaign, which has enlisted top fashion designers for the last four years to create Campbell red dresses. The red dress is the celebrated symbol for women’s heart health. The company’s campaign has also pledged to donate more than $3.6 million to the AHA by 2012.

Tim Gunn was moved by the stories and the inspired designs. “These women truly are role models and should be proud of all that they have accomplished in their fight against heart disease,” said Gunn. “They certainly ‘make it work’ on and off the runway.”

Heart disease survivor, Nadine Jenkins from East Orange, N.J., makes heart health fashionable as she walks the runway during the Project Runway “Design Your Heart Out” episode.  The winner designer, Sarabi and Jenkins will join Tim Gunn on the red carpet at the Woman’s Day Red Dress Awards in New York City on Feb. 10, 2010. In addition, a limited edition replica of Sarabi’s winning dress will be sold on ProjectRunway.com with proceeds benefiting the American Heart Association
