    Go Red

    Hi All,

    Last fall the AHA did a story on me in my local paper. The story was about how I was a survivor of heart disease. Well I just received an email for the casting call in MA with Marie Osmond and the go red campaign. You can either go in person or submit your story to be chosen to be a spokesperson for the 2008-2009 Go Red campaign!

    I don't think I can take the time out of work so I have a whole lot of writing to do this weekend. Wish me luck!
