Heart Month is not just a time to think about making healthy changes in your own lifestyle, but also a time to think of fun ways to spread awareness about our nation's #1 killer, heart disease.

Putting a Name and a Face on Your Local American Heart Association

My name is Juliana McKee and I am a 19 year old sophomore studying communications at the University of Maryland. I have been a volunteer for the American Heart Association (AHA) Greater Washington Region (GWR) for over 2 years. This past July, I was honored to be crowned Miss Teen International 2010 and I am now spending my year long reign promoting the AHA as my platform. Using my crown and sash as a megaphone, I know I can make a difference in the hearts of others!


I am so excited to have the opportunity to work as an intern for the AHA GWR this spring! Throughout my internship, I will be updating this blog regularly, as well as helping to update the AHA GWR Twitter and Facebook pages to help keep YOU informed and to help spread awareness about heart disease, our nation's #1 killer of both men and women, all over our nation's capital so that, together, we can work to decrease and eventually eliminate deaths from heart disease!
