Proclaims February 3, 2012 as National Wear Red Day in Arizona to increase awareness about heart disease in women.

Highlights that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for women, claiming over 419,000 American female lives annually.

Notes that only one in five American women recognizes heart disease as her greatest health threat, despite 90 percent having one or more risk factors.

Urges all Arizona citizens to wear red on National Wear Red Day to show support for women and their fight against cardiovascular disease.

Supports the American Heart Association's "Go Red For Women" initiative to empower women to reduce their risk for heart disease through awareness and healthy lifestyle choices.
