Hi!
I wanted to share this great opportunity with you all.
If you are a heart patient who has experienced a heart attack, or you know someone in your chapter who has experienced a heart attack, we have the perfect opportunity for you to share your story.
Bob Harper, celebrity personal trainer, author and heart attack survivor, has teamed up with AstraZeneca to help people like him who have experienced a heart attack share their stories to educate and inspire others through an essay contest. They are asking those who have had a heart attack to submit an essay of 500 words or less about their experience and recovery. Five stories from heart attack survivors will be chosen and those selected, along with a caregiver of their choice, will travel to New York City in February to be inducted into a heart attack survivor's network. Essays must be submitted by January 15th and must not mention any specific medication or company name.
Please encourage any heart attack survivors that are in your group to visit
http://www.survivorshaveheart.com/direct/astrazeneca to find out more about the contest and to submit their story. Remember, the essay is over on January 15th, so please pass along the contest details during your December and early January meetings, as well as through chapter email channels and newsletters. Help us celebrate heart attack survivorship by sharing your story!
For questions, please email Mandy at
