“I’m so grateful to Nancy Brown and the American Heart Association for giving me the opportunity to talk about my heart health and spread the word so other women can put themselves on their to-do lists,” Rucci says. “They can listen to their body and if something is wrong they can take action and contact their doctor.”

“The reason I’m here is to raise awareness for cardiovascular disease, especially for women,” the Love Island USA winner tells PEOPLE. “I feel like this is an under-discussed topic. I’m a registered nurse. I worked in a cardiac unit for five years, so it’s a full-circle moment for me.”

When it comes to living a long, healthy life, Seymour says, “You have to exercise, eat well, reduce stress, do all of these things, and make sure you don’t gain too much weight.” “But I think the other important thing is to not be an ostrich. Don’t stick your head in the sand. Check with your doctor to see if you have cholesterol issues or blood pressure issues and follow their instructions.”

“I have two grandfathers who have had strokes, and I have a family history of hypertension, so this is very personal,” the Diplomat star says.

“I was finally diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome when I was 18 or 19,” said the Pretty Little Liars alum, who attended the event with her husband and son. “It took me a long time to get that diagnosis. I went to 17 doctors. They all ignored me or told me I should get on the treadmill or that I was eating too much. They didn’t really listen to me. It took me a long time to advocate for myself to finally get one doctor to listen to me, but it changed my life. I think doctors are great, but you really have to advocate for yourself. You are your best advocate, and it’s essential whether it’s in the office, with your friends, with your family, with your career, I always want women to advocate for themselves and stand up for what they believe in and what they know is right.”

Uzo Aduba

“My goal is to see as many memories of me and (my daughter) stitched together as possible, which means I have to do everything I can to make sure I’m here for those stories,” Aduba tells PEOPLE. “It’s about walking every day and making better choices every day. And I realized that the hardest thing I can do is fight for her and for myself.”

Jennifer Hale

“I’m actually a heart survivor,” the NFL’s Fox announcer tells PEOPLE. “Eight years ago, I was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy, which means your heart expands, becomes large, squishy, ​​and unable to pump blood around your body. I was initially given five years to live, but thanks to medication and research and development discovered by groups like the American Heart Association, I’m here. I’m living a wonderful life.”

“This mission is personal to me because I have so many strong, phenomenal women in my life who care about everyone else. It’s important for us to remember to put ourselves first and take care of ourselves,” Bailey tells PEOPLE. “The whole world would fall apart without them.”

“I’m a national volunteer for the American Heart Association. I’ve been volunteering for 15 years because heart health is what gets me up in the morning,” Jones tells PEOPLE. “And, to be honest, that’s the last thing I think about before I go to bed, because I shouldn’t be here. I think back to 15 years ago, when I had to control my weight. I had to control my eating. I didn’t feel so lethargic. I literally had to make my health a priority in my life. And for the past 15 years, I’ve been advocating for other women to do the same.”

ashley cook

“I wanted to be here today because I’ve had some pretty bad experiences in my life over the past year with heart issues in my family,” the country singer says. “It was important for me to be here to spread awareness about getting heart tests as a woman. … I also just wanted to be here to celebrate the fact that that terrible event didn’t take away my mom and the people in my life that meant so much to me.”
