National Wear Red Day is part of Go Red For Women, which is the American Heart Association's national movement to end heart disease and stroke in women.

National Wear Red Day, Friday, Feb. 2nd, observed the first Friday in February to bring national attention to the #1 killer for women -- heart disease.

Amber Nielson, president of the University of Utah Alpha Phi chapter alongside her entire sorority invites everyone in Utah to join them in wearing red in honor of the mothers, sisters, daughters, friends and more who have been affected by this disease.

Not only is Amber bringing some awareness about her chapters philanthropy, the American Heart Association, she also shows us how to make a delicious soup courtesy of the American Heart Association. Check it out below!
