UNVEILING EVENT AT BASKETBALL HALL OF FAME SPRINGFIELD MA FEB 5TH, 2016. I AM A LEADING LADY ONCE AGAIN. MY FIRST TIME WINNING WAS IN CENTRAL MA BOSTON 2010. THANK YOU GOD, A MOST IMPORTANT CAUSE THAT THE SNOW COULD'NT STOP IT. THANK YOU MY WONDERFUL SON FOR TAKING ME I LOVE YOU SO MUCH XOXOXO MOM

PLEASE DONATE FOR MORE GREAT STORIES SUCH AS THIS TO SHARE!!!

22-month-old Jake Schron had end-stage dilated cardiomyopathy, which meant that his heart was too big, and pumping too little. Fortunately, thanks to better diagnosis and treatment because of supporters like you, there was hope. A trip to the emergency room led doctors to determine that Jake needed a new heart. For months, Jake's mom Shannon lived in his hospital room. And the entire time, she and Jake's dad Andrew were counting the days until the one that really mattered: Day 112, when Jake got his new heart. Speaking a few days after the transplant, Shannon was still amazed. "I kind of feel like I'm a little bit on a cloud," she said. "It hasn't set in that he has a new heart." This holiday season, please donate to make success stories like this possible. Now, a normal toddler is part of the Schron family's celebration this year. Shannon even joked that "he was acting a lot more like himself because he is back to saying 'NO!' to his nurses." My son is such a fighter," Shannon said. "Seeing him going through this and handling it, it kind of gives you the strength to go forward. No matter what is happening that boy has a smile on his face." Despite their joy, Jake's parents knew that their happiness did not come without a price. "To our Donor family, thank you for your selfless act and giving our family the greatest gift possible," they wrote on Facebook. "Your child will live on through our son and he/she will always be a hero in our eyes." Stories like Jake's are why we celebrate. And why we thank you for your support. This holiday, your donation can help doctors diagnose and treat many heart diseases soon after birth. Which gives kids like Jake a better chance of surviving. So this holiday season, let's celebrate giving the littlest ones the biggest chance of success we can. Because after all, "Life is Why."

Are you ready to Wear Red?

Dear Theresa,

Tomorrow is National Wear Red Day®, are you ready to lead the battle against heart disease and stroke in women?

Break out your best RED outfit and show the world that you stand with Go Red For Women®.

Join women like Meliah Jefferson, who at the young age of 33 suffered a massive heart attack. "I was devastated; I thought I had been doing the right things," she says about her ordeal. But the one thing Meliah wasn't doing is getting regular Well-Women Visits with her doctor.

Meliah Jefferson

Today Meliah wears red to encourage women not to make the same mistake she did. She reminds everyone: "Knowing about your family history is great, but you have to do something about it" to prevent heart disease. That includes Well-Women Visits.

You can stand with women like Meliah by not only wearing red tomorrow but also giving to Go Red For Women®. Your financial support allows the American Heart Association to build awareness about cardiovascular disease in women so that we can save lives.

Since we first launched Go Red For Women® in 2004, nearly 285 fewer women die from heart disease and stroke each day. And death in women has decreased by more than 30 percent over the past 10 years.

While those statistics are great, unfortunately, 1 in 3 women still die of heart disease and stroke, even though 80% of cardiac events may be prevented with education and lifestyle changes. This means there's still much more work to be done.

When you Go Red For Women® you build awareness about this deadly disease, inspire women to make lifesaving changes, and help save lives.

Tomorrow is the day - let's make this the most successful National Wear Red Day® in our history.

Thank you for your support.

The Go Red For Women® Team
