The KNOW MORE Awareness
Campaign was founded in 2009 by Corey and Brittany Agee to promote awareness of cardiovascular diseases. The campaign is
dedicated to bringing the support of the NASCAR community, together with the passion and commitment of the cardiovascular
diseases community, to promote better awareness, understanding and health of these life threatening diseases.
"Our personal experiences with
cardiovascular diseases drove us to assist building awareness of the many faces of cardiovascular disease and help
inform, educate and promote better health to the public through the racing community."
- Corey Agee

What is Cardiovascular Disease?
Cardiovascular disease is a disease
of the heart and diseases of the blood vessel system within a person's entire body such as the brain, legs, and lungs. In
the name Cardiovascular, "Cardio" refers to the heart and "Vascular" refers to the blood vessel system. Cardiovascular Disease
causes dysfunctional conditions of the heart, arteries, and veins that supply oxygen to vital life-sustaining areas of the
body like the brain, the heart, and other organs. Oxygen has to carry to tissues and organs in order for a person to maintaining
life.
There are many forms of Cardiovascular
disease including all forms of Coronary heart disease, the two most common forms of this are heart attack and heart failure.
They both may seem like the same thing but heart attack and heart failure are different.
