ACT Chief Minister Katy Gallagher recently invited Canberra women to join her in making a difference in women’s heart health by signing up for this year’s Healthy Heart Challenge.
“The Healthy Heart Challenge asks women to choose a small, realistic goal for 10 weeks, including being active every day, improving their nutrition, or quitting smoking, as a practical way for women to improve their heart health behaviours,” the Chief Minister said.
The campaign was introduced in 2011 with over 17,000 people signing up to make a change in their life. The Healthy Heart Challenge aims to raise awareness of heart disease in women and the Healthy Heart Challenge encourages women to make changes to their lives that will make a difference to their heart health.
