- Share with us your favorite red thing in the comments below for your chance to win this Go Red package from the American Heart Association.
I don’t jump behind just any old cause. Besides, you know my “thing” is cancer, because, well, my thing was cancer. But then this came across my in-box, and I just had to get involved.
-
More women die of cardiovascular disease than the next five causes of death combined, including all forms of cancer.
-
90% of women have one or more risk factors for developing heart disease.
-
Heart disease is largely preventable. In fact, 80% of cardiac events in women may be prevented if women make the right choices for their hearts involving diet, exercise and abstinence from smoking
So, we’re wearing the proverbial red today at MommaSaid by giving away something red, including:
• The American Heart Association’s book Complete Guide to Women’s Heart Health: The Go Red For Women Way to Well-being and Vitality
• Go Red For Women Yoga Mat
• Go Red For Women Water Bottle
• Go Red For Women Notepad
• Go Red For Women Signature Red Dress Pin
For your chance to win, post a comment with your favorite red thing by midnight tonight. (Keep it clean, folks. I won’t post the dirty stuff, because my niece reads my blog.) Open to US citizens only, please. A winner will be chosen at random through random.org, a random number generator, sometime tomorrow when I’m snowed in here. Happy Wear Red Day to you all, even if you go pink instead because red doesn’t look good on your complexion.
Pass it on!
Random.org chose #7, so our winner is….Jen Miller. Congrats Jen. I’ll contact you for your addy for the prize.
Thanks everyone for playing along. I loved all of your responses.

This was an easy one for me. My favorite red item isn’t really a thing, but it has to be my youngest daughter, Riley. She has the same beautiful red hair as my mother.
My oh so soft and cozy red flannel sheets are my favorite red thing.
my favorite red item is a red flowy shirt I have with the neckline in a crochet pattern
My favorite red thing is my red nail polish called ‘I’m not really a waitress red.’ It is that little something that makes me, a stay at home mom, feel pretty when I wear it.
My favorite red item is the red handbag I purchased from american heart association silent auction @ my childrens school. It reminds me everyday of my Dad who passed away 3 years ago from massive heart attack. Miss you Dad, that’s why I love my red purse.
My favorite red “thing” is the locket my husband and son gave me for Christmas last year!
My favorite red thing is a figure-fitting red wool coat I bought at a consignment shop for the holidays. A guilty (but cheap) present to myself.
My red leather bound Complete Works of William Shakespeare. I’ve had it since my freshman year and took it with me to England. It has a place of honor in my home.
I have a beautiful red leather COACH bag, that I carry all winter with a beautiful crochet red scarf around my neck….so scrumptious!
My favorite red item is the red polar fleece shirt I am wearing today! It kept me very warm while I was shoveling the driveway and sidewalk this afternoon but I really wore it because it’s Go Red Day.
My favorite red thing is my grandmother’s handkerchief trimmed with a bold, red embroidery design. She always carried it with her, yet only took it out in private. She once told me someone special gave it to her, but never told me who… hmmm…
I look *terrible* in red (unfortunately because I love the color!) but my favorite red item is a red baseball cap with a Marine logo my younger brother gave me before he left for Afghanistan. Whenever I wore it, I felt close to him and people would always ask “Why the Marine hat?” and I could tell them about both of my younger brothers. In the circles I run, not many people have family members who are in the military, so my brothers’ experiences have opened a few eyes. (Both brothers are back, safe and sound — and one of them just returned from Haiti after working with the Red Cross for two weeks.)
Both my husband and I really love the color red so we have a bunch of stuff, but right now, one of my favorite red things is my daughter’s red sequin Mary Janes, a gift from my very fashionable Aunt Pam.
My Favorite Red Item Is my Red Landsend Fleece
so warm and cozy
