Did you know that World Heart Day is Sunday, September 25?

Bill Clinton (former pres) and Roger Federer (current tennis star) both support the World Heart Association and announced World Heart Day through a joint press release. President Clinton had heart bypass surgery a year ago after experiencing chest pains. He maintains a healthy lifestyle, eats smart and stays fit. His Foundation is working hard to promote heart health.

Roger Federer, currently ranked the number one player of professional tennis, is the spokesperson for United Nations International Year of the Sport and Physical Education. You might have caught him beating Andre Agassi earlier this month. Wow was that a terrific match or what!! Anyway, he said, "Where ever you live in the world, moderate but regular exercise is extremely important. A small amount of exercise can make a big difference and help you have a healthy heart for life, too."

The World Heart Association is based in Geneva, Switzerland. Here in the U.S. , the American Heart Association, the American College of Cardiology, and the Children's Heartlink each have activities planned to promote awareness of heart health.
