Monmouth Mall Shoppers Go Red, Tell Stories
Last weekend, Monmouth Mall played a big role in raising awareness for women’s health. The center hosted the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women Share Your Story and Health Expo.
Go Red for Women has a long and renowned history of raising awareness of the risks of heart disease and stroke to women, and at the event last weekend, Monmouth Mall shoppers had a chance to share their own stories.
The association invited shoppers to visit the food court, where they could film a short message about their own experiences with heart disease or stroke. They were looking for survivors, those working hard to make healthy choices, people who’d lost a loved one—anyone with a story to tell. Those stories were filmed for a New Jersey Goes Red video.
That was just part of the big day, though. The free event also included CPR demonstrations, mini-makeovers, games, prizes, music and health screenings.
