National Wear Red Day!

Friday, February 1 was National Wear Red Day. This is an awareness campaign by the American Heart Association to primarily recognize heart disease in women. However, it is also an opportunity for us to raise awareness of congenital heart disease since February is National Heart Month. And Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Week is coming up: February 7-14.

Every year, the kids and I proudly wear red to raise awareness for CHD. This year is no different. We also encourage our friends and family to wear red in support of our boys and to spread the awareness where they live. Many people send me their pictures showing them wearing red and I love to show these to my kids. It is so wonderful for them to know people love and support them.

Thank you to all who wore red! Let's continue to spread the awareness of all forms of heart disease!
