A majority of American women mistakenly believe that they have a higher risk for cancer than stroke and heart disease. However, stroke and heart disease kill twice as many women as cancer every year. The statistics don't have to stay that way. You have the power to help make change!
In an effort to increase awareness about women and stroke, National Stroke Association has joined the inaugural Spirit of Women Red Shoe Initiative, uniting fashion and women's health. Five celebrities have autographed a pair of chic red "Carlos by Carlos Santana" shoes and have chosen National Stroke Association as the auction's beneficiary! The shoes will be available by eBay auction (http://www.ebay.com/).
The first eBay auction begins at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on September 5, 2007. Each auction will be open for only ten days.
