Join Heidi Klum this Friday, February 1st, in wearing something red. Why should you wear red if Valentine's Day is still a couple of weeks away? It is officially National Wear Red Day to support women's heart health awareness! Diet Coke is partnering with The Heart Truth, a program of the NHLBI (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute), to raise awareness of women's heart disease.

Heart Disease is the #1 killer of American women. An alarming 1 in 4 women will die of heart disease. Of the women who are living with heart disease, they have a greatly diminished quality of life. According to The NHLBI website, "Women often fail to make the connection between risk factors, such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and their own chance of developing heart disease." All women need to talk with their doctors about their health and take action.

Looking to do more than wear red and talk with your doctor about your health? Heidi Klum is having a specially designed red Oscar dress that will be used as the grand prize in the Diet Coke Red Dress Sweepstakes. The sweepstakes ends March 10, 2008 and there is no purchase necessary to win. Diet Coke will contribute $1 to support women’s heart health awareness and research for each sweepstakes entry, up to $250,000. Check out www.mycokerewards.com for more information and a chance to win!

Encourage your loved ones to join the campaign and wear red this Friday!
