Go Red Richmond Event at Executive Mansion

First Lady Maureen McDonnell hosted members of the Circle of Red Tuesday, September 14, at the Executive Mansion. Circle of Red co-chairs Tracy Retchin and Jill Bussey Harris, and 2012 Chair Marilyn H. West shared the mission of Go Red Richmond with attendees and thanked the Circle of Red members for their personal contributions to the campaign. Dr. Renee Reid, Director of Quality Improvement, Department of Emergency Medicine VCU Health System, spoke to attendees about the importance of advocating for their health and taking care of their hearts.

"Heart disease and stroke claim more women’s lives each year than the next five causes of death combined, and nearly twice as many as all forms of cancer," said Go Red Richmond chair Marilyn West. "Through the generosity of our sponsors, volunteers and individuals, we WILL make a difference for women and their hearts in Richmond and nationwide."
