Dear John,

I had to share this incredible moment with you first.

After 25 years of grassroots advocacy, our Champions' voices are now reaching a global audience through something truly special, the BBC StoryWorks' "Beats of Change" film series.

Why this matters to every woman in our community:

For too long, women's heart health stories have been whispered in support groups, shared quietly between friends, or dismissed entirely in medical settings, but not anymore.

Meet Denise Dunager, one of our remarkable Champions whose journey will resonate with so many of you:
- Years of symptoms dismissed by multiple doctors ❌
- High cholesterol and family history ignored ❌
- Told repeatedly her heart was "fine," and that it was anxiety ❌
- Finally advocated for an angiogram ✅
- Discovered a 98% blockage that could have been fatal ✅
- Now inspiring women worldwide ✅

Her story - our story - is now part of an international conversation about women's cardiovascular health.

What this means for our movement:
🌍 Global Recognition: Our 25-year mission is now on the world stage
📢 Amplified Voices: Stories like yours reach international audiences
💪 Validation: Proof that patient advocacy creates lasting change
🤝 Growing Community: New women finding us through these stories
📈 Policy Impact: Global platform strengthens our advocacy efforts

Your role in this historic moment:

As a valued member of our community, you've been part of building something extraordinary. Whether you're a survivor, caregiver, Champion, or supporter, this achievement belongs to all of us.

Here's how you can help amplify our impact:

💝 Support the Mission: Help us reach more women with a donation of any size
🗣️ Tell Your Story: If you are a woman living with heart disease, consider training as a Champion to support others
📱 Spread Awareness: Use your social media to highlight women's heart health

This is what 25 years of "never giving up" looks like.

From three heart attack survivors meeting in a living room to global film recognition, we've built something that's changing and saving lives every single day.

Denise's story proves that when we refuse to be silenced, when we advocate for ourselves and each other, we don't just survive - we transform entire systems.

Your voice matters. Your story matters. Your support makes this possible.

With gratitude and excitement for what's next,
Celina Gorre
CEO, WomenHeart
