Over 100 local women participated in the Cheesehead Run 5K this past Sunday to raise awareness about heart disease in women. Funding for the group was provided by a grant from The Heart Truth, a national awareness campaign for women about heart disease. The majority of the women were participating in their first 5K walk/run. Interested women attended meetings held at various locations in Calumet County and were provided with a five week training program for the event. The women then received weekly follow up emails related to preparing for the event. At the event, all participants were provided with an "I Wear Red With an Attitude to Win" t-shirt and were encouraged to dress in red clothing.
