The American Heart Association and PHP are soliciting nominations for its Annual Lifestyle Change Awards.  The association wants to recognize individuals who have made positive changes to improve their quality of life and health. The American Heart Association recognizes that no change is too small, and every accomplishment is significant!  Nominations for the Lifestyle Change Award can be submitted by friends, co-workers or relatives, and individuals can nominate themselves.

 

Lifestyle Change Award recipients will be chosen by a volunteer committee and recognized at the upcoming Northeast Indiana Heart Walk, which will be held on Sept. 15 at the IPFW Alumni Plaza. Each recipient will also receive an award certificate and a gift bag, plus have their story highlighted on the American Heart Association local website and Facebook page. 

 

Nomination forms are available at www.heart.org/fortwayne. Send completed nominations to Michael.jines@heart.org by Friday, Sept. 7. 

 

The Northeast Indiana Heart Walk is the American Heart Association’s premier fundraiser, gives people an opportunity to improve their health through walking while helping fund the fight against heart disease and stroke. Allen County area residents are encouraged to sign up for the Heart Walk by visiting www.fortwayneheartwalk.kintera.org.  The event will include 1- and 3-mile routes, free health screenings, educational booths, children’s activities, healthy snacks, entertainment and much more.  There is no registration free to participate in the walk, although donations are encouraged. The Heart Walk is sponsored nationally by Subway and Jenny Craig and locally by PHP.

Hi there!  I'm a home staging expert here in Fort Wayne, I'm looking to connect with my community so I can share how Staging helps houses get off the market faster and for a more profitable sale.  If you know of anyone that is selling their home, please share my site Stunning Staging & Redesign LLC or send their info my way and I'll be happy to reach out to them.  Thanks!

Help Turn the White House Red

25,000 signatures. That's what the American Heart Association needs in the next 30 days (ends Jan. 4, 2012) for the White House to consider its petition to illuminate the building in red in honor of National Wear Red Day® and American Heart Month. February is American Heart Month and National Wear Red Day is celebrated on Friday, Feb. 3. 

The association is asking that Allen County area residents show the White House how important it is to remember women who died from heart disease, celebrate women who have survived, and educate everyone on our No. 1 killer of both men and women. To sign the petition to turn the White House red, follow these steps:

1. Visit the special petition page on WhiteHouse.gov or click on http://tinyurl.com/WhiteHouseRedPetition

2. Create an account (we know, what a pain!)

3. Watch for a verification email.

4. Sign the petition.

5. Ask your friends, family and coworkers to sign it, too.

 

Red is the color associated with Go Red For Women, the American Heart Association’s movement that celebrates the energy,
passion and power we have as women to band together to wipe out heart disease in women.

     The American Heart Association is offering women the opportunity to share their stories for chance to become a local or national Go Red For Women® spokesperson.  In January and February, casting calls will be held in conjunction with Go Red Connect events being held across the country. Five women from the casting calls will be selected to serve as national spokeswomen for Go Red For Women, appearing on marketing materials and at events while serving as ambassadors for the cause. Women from the casting calls will also be selected to serve as the faces of Go Red For Women in their communities.   

     Fort Wayne will host a Go Red For Women Connect event with a casting call from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, January 19, at the Parkview Women’s Health Center, 11123 Parkview Plaza Dr. Suite 200.  At the casting call, women can share their story on why they are passionate about speaking out against heart disease in women. Women attending the casting call are encouraged to wear red for the taping. Women can also choose to share their story in writing instead of on video at the event.  

     Women attending the free event can also register to win Go Red For Women prizes, pick up a Wear Red Day kit for their company to prepare for National Wear Red Day on Feb. 4, and obtain information that will help them lead heart-healthier lives.  

     For more information, visit www.heart.org/FortWayne.

I have been amazed at all the activities in Indianapolis at the smallerindiana site. I am excited to see that we are starting one for Ft Wayne. Maybe it was there all the time and I missed it. I am a coach for the Women in Mary Kay and I teach on class on business and glamour on Tues nights. If anyone would like our international makeup artist to design a look for them for a new promotion,job, interview or just for fun, don't hestiate to let me know.
