Mi Manos will be hosting Mimi’s Red Dress event in honor Jamielynn Dutton’s mother Ruth aka Mimi. Some of you know, some may have heard of her journey, for those who don’t know here is her story:
A heart-saving story about women and heart disease straight from a survivor
Mimi who learned at the age of 50 that one of her arteries in her heart was 99.8 percent blocked and second one more than 50 percent. Never once did she think she was at risk for heart disease, with no history or so she thought...
She was scheduled for a surgery in May of 2000. She underwent the usual pre-op procedures along with a stress test due to her age. She passed all the tests & was awaiting her surgery date. Just a few days before that date she had her first heart attack. Shortly following that event she was quickly scheduled for her first stent procedure.
Last year at 58 she had to have three more stents used including one for the dorsal aorta, your heart’s major artery. Through education & the help of her doctors she has gained the tools & knowledge needed to lead a healthy Heart Strong life.

Please Save Friday, February 1, 2008 in red on your calendars – that’s the day Mi Manos will join the American Heart Association www.goredforwomen.org fight against heart disease by holding Mimi’s Red Dress Event.
We encourage everyone to participate by wearing red to work and by attending Mimi’s Red Dress event with us help the AHA raise women’s awareness of cardiovascular disease and empower women to reduce their risk. Your participation will also entitle you to wear jeans to work on Wear Red Day!
We are proud to be joining the AHA and concerned companies and organizations across
America in the fight against the #1 killer of women – as well as of men. Wear Red Day is a chance for us to arm ourselves with knowledge about this devastating disease and to raise funds that will help the AHA advance its research and education efforts.
If you have any questions or would like to volunteer to help with sign-up or special events, please e-mail or call me Jamielynn Dutton. All donations made (including tickets for the event) will be provided with a receipt upon request.
