Heart disease is the #1 killer in the United States. With the staggering statistic that about one person dies every minute from a coronary, we knew we had to take action.
Rally for Red is about everyone in the community who has a loved one in their life that may be at risk. Heart disease is color blind -- it does not have an age or ethnic requirement.
With heart healthy monthly reminders, ABC15 is determined to let viewers know that they can do their part to prevent heart disease with simple steps, like healthy eating and exercise.
Rally for Red is a community movement that starts the 15th of every month! Help us as we strive to make Arizona a better place.
