'Go Red for Women' Celebrates Success Stories

DULUTH - The 'Go Red for Women' challenge celebrated the success of its new and improved heart healthy women Wednesday.

Women shared success stories of weight loss, improved blood pressure and cholesterol, renewed confidence and new healthy habits.

"I know exactly how those women feel, I was one of those women. Two years ago, I was a challenger," said Stacey Askelson, with the Northland Go Red for Women. "They are energetic, they are motivated, their stories are incredible. They'll move you."

About 350 women and a few men decked out in red to help raise awareness to the number one killer of American women.
