Lincoln's First Annual Go Red BetterU Makeover Challenge Participants Accounced!

After an overwhelming response to the callout for applicants for the first-ever Lincoln Go Red BetterU Makeover Challenge—in which more than 130 local women shared their compelling and heartrending reasons for consideration— the final 10 participants have been selected. On November 9th, these 10 women will begin their 12 week heart-healthy journey with the help of LifePointe by BryanLGH, BryanLGH Heart Institute, and BryanLGH Medical Center. All of the women will have consultations with Dr. Ryan Whitney, a cardiologist with BryanLGH Heart Institute, and each woman will be paired up with their very own personal health coach at LifePointe. The winner of this challenge will be announced at the Go Red for Women Expo on February 11, 2010 and will receive a free 1 year membership to LifePointe.
