It is with immense pride and unwavering determination that I am committed this year as an ambassador for the Red Dress Gala. This cause, dedicated to raising awareness and fighting cardiovascular disease, resonates deeply with my values and commitment. As a businesswoman and community leader, I see it as my responsibility to use my voice and influence to educate, inspire, and mobilize around the critical importance of heart health. The red dress, a symbol of strength, courage and femininity, perfectly reflects the values I wish to promote: resilience, determination and solidarity in the face of a scourge that is too often ignored. Heart disease and stroke are the leading causes of premature death among women in Canada, yet this reality remains largely unknown.”

I am convinced that awareness and information are essential to initiate change. As an ambassador for this year's Red Dress Gala, my goal is to carry this message strongly, to reach a wide audience, and to inspire everyone to take care of their heart health. With the support of our community, I am confident that we can not only raise awareness, but also make a tangible impact in the lives of many women. Together, let's end the suffering caused by these diseases and build a future where everyone can live healthy, aware, and proud to take care of their hearts. I am committed to carrying out this cause with the seriousness, passion and determination it deserves, in order to make a significant contribution to the fight against cardiovascular disease.”
