Personal Fundraising Page for Matthew Wendel
Go Red for Women is crucial in driving local support to fund life-saving research and to educate women. Though we have made great strides in the advancement of women's cardiovascular health, we still have far to go. We need your help now so that our mothers, sisters and daughters have a chance to fight this silent killer. By sharing a commitment to speak up, spread the word and support the research, you can help save lives.

Five years ago, my sister-in-law gave birth to her third child, a healthy baby boy, just a few hours before April Fool's Day.
