Make a healthy heart your goal: Encouraging women to lead an active, heart-healthy life

The World Heart Federation, in partnership with UEFA, the Swedish Heart-Lung Foundation and the Swedish Football Association are coming together at the 2013 Women’s Euro to support the Go Red for Women campaign and its fight against cardiovascular disease, the number 1 killer of women. With the call to action “Make a healthy heart your goal”, this campaign encourages women and girls to lead an active, healthy lifestyle and practise sports such as football to help reduce their risk of heart disease and stroke.

As part of this effort in stemming CVD mortality rates among the global female populace, the World Heart Federation in collaboration with its partners have created a toolkit that is made available to its members to further assist in raising awareness.
