National Wear Red Day is all about showing support. The American Heart Association is asking everyone to wear red to fight heart disease on Friday, February 7th, 2014. There is more information here.

If you want some ideas on how you can go red, keep reading and then go to. We’ve resposted some ideas from the Go Red For Women (part of the American Heart Association) website. You can read the original information on the Go Red For Women website.

Well, what does it mean to Go Red? It means supporting women in the fight against heart disease. Why women? Because heart disease is the #1 killer of women. So show your support for women with heart disease to increase funding, education and awareness. We’re sharing some ideas but get creative and come up with ideas of your own. You’re welcome to share your creative ways to Go Red here by signing up on the Go Red for Women website.

So here are the Ten Ways to Go Red from the American Heart Association:
