Red Heart and WomenHeart Team on National HeartScarves Project to Benefit Women Living with Heart Disease
 Red Heart Yarns and WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease have joined forces to create the HeartScarves Project Kit featuring everything you need to knit or crochet a red scarf. HeartScarves provides handmade red scarves to members of our WomenHeart Support Networks, and to women undergoing cardiac procedures. The red scarves offer comfort, support, and encouragement for a woman with heart disease and become a part of her healing journey.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death of American women. Now, you can support the more than 41 million women currently living with or at risk for heart disease by giving of your hands and from your own heart. Knit or crochet a red scarf as part of the HeartScarves [http://www.womenheart.org/] project which provides handmade red scarves to women with heart disease as a symbol of care and support.
HeartScarves are distributed through WomenHeart Support Network Coordinators, the only national network of trained volunteers providing support to women with heart disease. Each red scarf is accompanied by a personal, heartfelt note of support, love and encouragement from the creator. WomenHeart Support Network Coordinators deliver the scarves to women heart patients in hospitals and cardiac rehabilitation centers.
Created in 2005 by two women heart disease survivors, the HeartScarves program delivers handmade, red scarves to members of our WomenHeart Support Networks, and to women undergoing cardiac procedures. Symbolizing the lifelines of caring and support that exists among us, each red scarf is meant to offer comfort, support, and encouragement for a woman with heart disease and become a part of her healing journey. Recipients of the scarves truly feel the love and attention that go into the production of these hand-made items.
HeartScarves kits are available at www.shopredheart.com.
