Here’s a fact you can take to heart: cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of Canadian women. The sold-out 8th Annual Jeanne Fuller Red Dress Charity Golf Classic took a swing at changing all that by raising $110,000 for women’s heart health last Monday at the Loch March golf course in Kanata.
Blessed with warm weather and sunny skies, golfers participated in what’s quite possibly the most enjoyable women’s charity golf tournament in town. Some of the extras included massages, warm-up yoga, mini cosmetic makeovers and champagne.
The closest-to-the-purse hole was a real hit, mostly due to the prize: a designer Michael Kors bag.

“You couldn’t have asked for nicer weather,” Mary Browne, who was back with Marion Martell to co-chair the event for their 6th year, said at the cocktail hour. “Everything was perfect. Lots of cheers and happy women on the course.”
Proceeds from the fundraiser are going toward the University of Ottawa Heart Institute Foundation’s creation of the first Canadian Women’s Heart Health Centre.

The dinner, MCed by CTV’s Lianne Laing, included honourary chair Jeanne Fuller. Close at her side was her son, Mark Fuller, owner of Loch March and a member of the prominent Thomas Fuller Construction family, and his auctioneer wife, Diana.
The evening saw more than 50 raffle prizes given away. Live auction items included concert tickets to The Black Keys and Fleetwood Mac and a shopping trip to New York City.
Speakers included Robyn Houle, a married mother of two from Brockville. She didn’t look like the kind of woman to require angioplasty and bypass surgeries. Serious heart disease runs in her family and, fortunately, she was made aware of that risk factor. She knew what signs to look for and was able to seek medical attention, beginning in her 30s.
“Once you sort of go through something like this, you can’t ever trust indigestion as just being indigestion or an ache somewhere in your upper body as just an ache,” she told Around Town.
