We know there are thousands of stories like these - thats why we want to say “Thanks” to all of you for giving your time and sharing your lives with us. You can’t spell CURE without U!

Happy Veterans Day!


The American Heart Association would like to thank all our military service men and women this Veterans Day. And to all heart attack and stroke survivors and families who've fought their own battles and persevered, we salute you as well!
*Remember to tell your friends and family to join our army of advocates at www.yourethecure.org this Veteran's day and urge them to take action in the fight to find a cure and build healthier lives free of cardiovascular disease and stroke.
We can't spell CURE, without "U"! Join You're the Cure today! This group of volunteers contacts their elected officials to help pass important heart-healthy policies in their state and across the nation. Once you’re a part of You’re the Cure, you’ll receive e-mails that guide you on how to take action – from clicking on an alert that you can personalize and send to your lawmakers to talking points on what to say when making a call to a district office or visiting a lawmaker on legislation affecting heart or stroke issues. It’s a great resource to keep you up to speed with state and federal health legislation and the best part is, we offer it as a free service to the public.
Find us on Facebook: Join our page “You’re the Cure: Midwest Clicks for Hearts” at www.facebook.com/heartofthemidwest and make sure all your friends and family know you care about advocating for heart issues on Facebook! Our page has posts from all the states in our affiliate and highlights successes and opportunities in advocacy for heart and stroke issues. (IA, IL, IN, KS, MI, MN, MO, ND, NE, SD, WI)
