'Heart disease is a woman's disease and we got to beat it" ~KATE JACKSON

"Something that until very recently hasn't been a addressed. That is, one out of every two woman will die of a heart attack, cardio vascular diseases or stroke. Yet, only one out of ten woman know that. I hope that tastistic has changed since the "Power Of Love" campaign as we all work  together to change it."
~KATE JACKSON

 

"We sometimes don't do enough for ourselves.  Like many of you, I sometimes in the past, found it difficult to find the time  to put myself on the front burner and take care of myself. "
                ~KATE JACKSON

 

"After my heart surgery, I educated myself and began to learn the basic issues of healthy living and concerns for myself and taking care of my heart, which I only have one of."                             ~KATE JACKSON

"Participating in the "Power Of Love" campaign, I was eager to find our audience of the importance of this self awareness and the need for every woman everywhere to cherish her own heart as the same passion she has for the hearts of those that she loves."
