Join Fight Against Women's Heart Disease

Did you know that women are more likely to have their computers checked for viruses than to have their cholesterol levels checked? Unfortunately, low-income women are even less likely to take this preventative measure.

Getting screened can give you the information you need to help you make smarter lifestyle choices for a healthier heart. In addition to getting yourself tested, you can help support women who can't afford the screening by participating in the Cheerios Circle of Helping Hearts program, which raises money to provide free cholesterol screenings for women in need.

If Cheerios is a staple in your house, look inside each box for a code and enter it online at cheerioshelpinghearts.com, and Cheerios will donate a dollar to WomenHeart, the nation's only patient advocacy organization serving women with heart disease.

To find out more about how you can help a heart, go to cheerioshelpinghearts.com.
