Lori Midgley -COR's Story
Please join me in the fundraising effort for this organization
I love working with the AHA and the community to make a difference in people’s lives.
My passion and dedication to the Circle of Red and Go Red For Women comes from personal experiences. Heart problems and heart disease are a common place in our family so after my mom had her second heart attack I knew I wanted to make a difference. Especially as I researched our family and remembered how much heart disease has affected my family from grandmas, sisters and aunts so about 5 years ago I called up the American Heart Association and told them I needed to do something to make a difference. At that point we had a couple of us that would meet to see what we could do to bring awareness to the community and the Go Red Movement. This group of powerful women created a special group of women who are passionate and committed to impact their local community by making a personal financial gift to help women live longer and healthier lives as well as to educate and bring awareness to those around them. This is now a group of about 25 women known as the Circle of Red, we hope to grow and spread the word as each dollar we raise funds research, education and programs for women in Utah.
I go RED to create passion and awareness in the community. To fight heart disease and stroke, to help save lives, to remember women who died, celebrate women who have survived, and educate everyone on our No. 1 killer of women today. I Go Red To Make A Difference!
We can stop the #1 Killer by sharing the truth…. Make a difference! Go Red!! Know your numbers!!
