The actress took to her Instagram account to share her story. She admits that last October she almost had a heart attack and is one of the reasons why she is now working with the American Heart Association.
Susan wrote, “On a late October afternoon, I had a wakeup call. Narrowly missing a severe heart attack, I realized how vulnerable life is and how incredibly grateful I am to be here today.” She went on to explain, “I exercise daily, eat as healthy as possible and yet had a shock of a lifetime when I was told that I had a 90% blockage in the main artery of my heart. I learned that heart disease is the number 1 killer of women, claiming more precious lives every year than all forms of cancer combined.”
The moment also prompted Susan to participate in the Go Red For Women Red Dress Collection. The event will be held at New York Fashion Week and will stream live through the American Heart Association’s web site on Thursday, February 7that 5pm.
Erica added, “This week, I will walk in the American Heart Association, Go Red for Women Red Dress Collection in honor of all women who have lost their lives, those who are currently battling heart disease and all the fearless survivors.”
It’s without a doubt that Susan’s fans can rest easy now knowing that the icon is both alive, well, and above all, healthy. With that being said, we can’t wait to see her walk in the runway show!
