MEET OLGA
Imagine getting down on the floor to teach your kindergarten students and not being able to get back up? What if the only way to get up off the floor was to crawl over to a table to boost yourself up? Meet Olga, an elementary school teacher who experienced this scary situation firsthand. Olga hated the woman in the mirror, the number on the scale terrified her, and her most recent blood work showed high cholesterol, high blood pressure, markers for diabetes, and other 'red flags.' It was on this fateful day in the classroom that Olga decided her life had to change immediately. In September 2020, Olga decided to join the inaugural JUMP IN™ for Women's Heart Health Challenge in support of the Canadian Women's Heart Health and has never looked back.
Today, Olga is part of the movement.
In September 2020, Olga decided to join the inaugural JUMP IN™ for Women's Heart Health Challenge in support of the Canadian Women's Heart Health Centre.
She started the 30-day challenge, where participants are encouraged to move for 30 minutes daily. She was scared, but Olga found a new community and support to make lasting healthy lifestyle changes.
Since then, Olga has lived a more confident and active lifestyle. Her health has improved by leaps and bounds, having reduced many of her risk factors and she feels great in her body. Coincidentally she is half the size she used to be! Most importantly, her heart thanks her, too.
5.8 million minutes of exercise.
5,000 Participants joined from Canada and beyond.
Nearly $600,000 fundraised to-date and counting.

Sponsorship and Partnership Opportunities
For further information regarding sponsorship and partnership opportunities, feel free to contact us. We look forward to hearing from you.
YOUR IMPACT
Here is why we continue to need your help. Recently, we have made great progress in research and promotion of women’s heart health.
But we are just getting started.
Your gift will help power a 150-person strong national working group that is actively fixing gaps in women’s heart and vascular health. Almost a quarter of the group are women living with cardiovascular disease, sharing their experience and expertise.
Education
Together, knowledge is being transformed into action. Essential women’s heart health educational materials have been created and distributed across the country in 15+ languages. Important resources are being developed with traditionally underserved communities, such as Indigenous women, and newcomers to Canada.
Training & Research
Plus, with help like yours, last year Network Forward was launched. It’s a research and training project aiming to design a women’s cardiovascular disease prevention network and focused on helping higher risk groups of women. We have members across the country that engage women of all ages and stages in regular conversations about their heart health. For instance, after menopause women are more at-risk for coronary heart disease and other conditions.
Let’s keep up the momentum.
Outreach & Advocacy
We now have members across the country that engage women of all ages and stages in regular conversations about their heart health. Plus, we have professionals that are working on fixing policies to better support women in their health journey.
