"1 out of 3 women die from cardiovascular disease and stroke, but yet it is 80% preventable." That's actually a heartbreaking statistic when you think about all the mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, grandmothers, nieces, cousins and friends that could have spent more time with their loved ones but a disease that is 80% preventable took their lives early. Thankfully, there are many individuals and organizations that are standing up and fighting for the lives of women who are threatened by what was once known as a "man's disease."
February is American Heart Monthand will be the month that many women will learn information that will potentially save their lives.
To help get this message out, MidwestLatino is organizing "SALSA IN RED" event on Wed. Feb. 11th:

Tango Buenos Aireshas become one of Argentina’s great cultural exports, known throughout the Americas, Europe, and the Far East as the most authentic and uncompromising representative of the Tango.
The acclaimed dance company’s 'Song of Eva Perón' is a Tango dance and music presentation inspired by the most important feminine character in Argentinian history, Eva Perón. Tracing her epic life –- from her ascent to fame in the 1930s to her death in 1952 -– this is a sparkling and poignant spectacle that is not to be missed.
