Purchase a Posh Parent Bag and Help Eradicate Heart Disease

Jan. 27, 2012 - PRLog -- Los Angeles, CA – The #1 killer of men and women in the United States, coronary heart disease, claims the life of one person every minute.  Like so many, several team members at Storksak and sister brand, Babymel, have been directly affected by heart disease and are determined to help raise awareness and critical funding required to help eradicate this silent killer. During American Heart Month in February, these two popular parent bag brands will donate 20% of the sales from two new designs, the Storksak Elizabeth Shell purchased on www.Storksak.com, and the Babymel Striped Satchel in red on www.Babymel.com to the American Heart Association. The AHA is a national non-profit organization dedicated to building healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke.

While heart disease is often viewed as “an old person’s disease”, it is the third cause of death for those ages 25-44, the second leading cause of death for those ages 45-64 and it is the #1 killer of those above the age of 65.  In many cases coronary heart disease can be prevented; knowing the risk factors and taking early action to maintain a healthy lifestyle is imperative.  “Our goal is to help increase awareness and funding for clinical research and programs that help educate men and women about how to lower their risk of developing the disease,” said Melanie Marshall, co-founder and creative director of Storksak and Babymel.  

Storksak will donate 20% of sales from the chic and functional new Elizabeth Shell parent bag in leather at www.Storksak.com, while Babymel will give 20% of the sales of the stylish coated canvas Striped Satchel diaper bag in red at www.Babymel.com to the American Heart Association.
