Every 38 seconds, someone dies from cardiovascular disease. In fact, heart and blood vessel diseases are America’s No. 1 killer. And with your help, we’re fighting back – working relentlessly for a world free of these deadly diseases. But as we speak, critical projects that could save countless lives are in desperate need of funding for 2010. We need to raise $1.5 million online by December 31st to fund our programs at full strength. Can you help? Every 38 seconds someone dies from cardiovascular disease. Help us fight back. Be a lifeline. Help us raise $1.5 million by Dec. 31 to save lives in 2010. Make a tax-deductible gift right now and be a lifeline for someone touched by heart disease or stroke. Heart and blood vessel diseases claim the lives of people of all ages and all races, in cities and towns across America. Even a small gift can go a long way for critical lifesaving projects like these: * Groundbreaking pediatric heart and stroke research. About 36,000 babies are born with heart defects each year —research is the key to saving the lives of tiny babies. * The Alliance for a Healthier Generation to help schools fight childhood obesity. The percentage of overweight children in America has tripled since 1980, and this innovative program is starting heart-healthy habits when it’s most important. * Lifesaving CPR classes across the nation. Bystander CPR can double a victim’s chances for survival. The more people we train, the more lives we can save. We’ve been helping to save lives for six decades, and we’re not about to quit. But we need people like you behind us. Make a donation before December 31st and help save lives in 2010. On behalf of the millions of Americans touched by heart disease or stroke, I thank you for your generosity. Sincerely, Nancy Brown Chief Executive Officer American Heart Association
