Blog hop SCOTCH.....!

Welcome to our first KIKI ART Design Team Blog Hop... however, we'd like to call it a BLOG HOPSCOTCH!

• When? During National Scrapbook Day weekend.
It will run from Thursday, April 29th until Monday, May 3rd.

• How to play?
You can start wherever you want, however, make sure to visit the blogs of our talented design team members. Also,

please make sure to visit the Kiki Art blogs (English, French, and Spanish) to be eligible to win.

Each design team member was asked to select an organization that commits to helping others. Then, they created a project based on their organization featuring Kiki Art products.

Make sure to take note of each organization/goodcause each DT member has selected.

When you hop from blog to blog, hopefully you will get inspired by all of the beautiful Kiki Art work. We also hope

that you are inspired to do good by getting involved in an effort to create a better world through these organizations.

• How to get a prize from the Kiki Art blog?
For your chance to win, you need to leave a comment on the Kiki Art blog letting us know which one(s) was/were your

favorite blog(s) during our blog hop and what organization was displayed on that blog. (Don't limit yourself! You

can choose as many blogs as you want!)

• How to get a prize from a Kiki Art design team member blog?
Many members of our design team have decided to give away a project that is related to the good cause they believe

in. Leave a comment on their blog hop posts, and they will pick a random winner.

And here comes my cause,

Now is the time for the first "blog hopes" for Kiki ART.
But it will not be "just" a bloghop but we want the DT team oxå draw your attention to something that is just our hearts.

What is dear to my heart is just the heart.
Since both my parents have passed away in myocardial infarction (and mom at age 45) so I feel that research on this is really something that needs to be promoted.

Here are some facts about women and cardiovascular disease from "cardiopulmonary Fund website",

Leading cause of death. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women.

20 000 per year. Annually, more than 20 000 women from heart disease. This is equivalent to 55 women a day.

41 heart attacks a day. Every day about 41 women in Sweden myocardial infarction.

Smaller hearts and smaller arteries. Women have smaller hearts and smaller vessels than men.

Suffer more than men. Women suffer the same cardiovascular diseases as men, such as myocardial infarction, heart failure, angina, cardiac arrhythmias and stroke, but on average, ten years later.
Some heart diseases common among women. Women are over-represented in certain heart diseases, such as "broken heart" and so-called silent infarcts.

The goal of much of the research on cardiovascular disease is that in the future be better able to individualize treatment of the patient, first by gender, body size and age, but increasingly from each individual's genetic susceptibility.
