Johnson County Resident selected as one of six faces of the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women Movement
Olathe resident Liz Tatham was locally announced today as one of six new faces of the American Heart Association’s National Go Red For Women movement.
“I make it my mission every day to inspire others to make healthy changes in their life, to lead a heart-healthy life,” said 43 year-old Liz Tatham. “That’s what the Go Red For Women movement represents. I hope that any woman who is diagnosed with heart disease knows exactly where she can go, call, log-in or write to find the instant support of people who will become some of her new best friends.”
With this new group of women serving as the faces of the movement, Go Red For Women hopes to raise awareness of heart disease, the No. 1 killer of women.

Meet The Challengers
Melissa Irwin
I have been overweight for as long as I can remember. I grew up playing a variety of sports but my weight never stopped me from playing. I played softball in college (1998-2000) and during that period of my life I was in the best shape I have ever been. Once I stopped playing softball I slowly started gaining weight. In 2007 my father passed away during open-heart surgery and my life changed forever. My family has a history of heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, and etc. I am ready to make a life change, break the cycle of poor health, and do what it takes to get healthy.
Thanks!
