A Special Heart: more ways to help beat heart disease and stroke
In honour of Heart Month, our dedicated partners at Circle K are helping you make even more of a difference in the lives of people living with heart disease and stroke. When you visit any Circle K store between February 1 – 28, you can add $1 or more to your regular purchase for a Paper Heart in support of Heart & Stroke.
Here in Nova Scotia, nearly 37% of people don’t realize that heart disease and stroke are the leading cause of premature death in women. And while women make up just over half of Canada’s population, urgent gaps in research, diagnosis and care are putting their hearts and brains at risk.
That’s why this Heart Month, Heart & Stroke is raising awareness about women’s heart and brain health. Join the conversation this February and help us cover every Circle K store window with bright red paper hearts! Together, we can help beat health inequity.
