Through The Heart Truth® project, every FAEOP member can benefit by making an effort to be more aware about heart disease and its effects on women and our families. Our goal for 2011- 2012 is for all FAEOP members to get healthier and pay attention to our hearts so we can all live a longer fuller life! The Heart Truth is – FAEOP needs your $ for Scholarships too!
Each member will be given a Heart Bank to deposit a little (or a lot) of change in every time she/he does something good for their heart like:

Each member will return their *banked amount to FAEOP Regional Conferences. Not only will we will be raising awareness about heart disease but we all can become healthier in the process! Let’s be good to ourselves – every day of the year! (If *in check form, please make payable to FAEOP (memo line: Special Project).

The Heart Truth® campaign seeks to:
- Increase awareness that heart disease is the #1 killer of women.
- Increase awareness that having risk factors can lead to heart disease, disability, or death.
- Encourage women to talk to their doctors about heart disease risk factors and to take action to prevent or control these risk factors.
Who will benefit the most from this campaign? – FAEOP Members & friends!
Not only will we get healthier – we will bank a few bucks for FAEOP Scholarships too!
