Lucille Roberson, Miami, FL: I was
really pleased to learn about the Heart Health
Forever stamp that was featured on my favorite TV show, “The Biggest
Loser.” I am a big fan of promoting a healthy lifestyle. To set an example in my
own life, I have lost 50 pounds.
In a move to raise
awareness of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, the U.S. Surgeon General, the
host from NBC’s “The Biggest Loser,” and the American Heart Association joined
the Postmaster General in dedicating the 2012 Social Awareness Heart Health
Forever stamp.
The stamp plays a key
motivational role in a competition featured on The Biggest Loser, airing
Tuesday, February 14 at 7 pm Central. The
episode also included a sweepstakes announcement to encourage letter writing.
All 50 million of the
45-cent First-Class Forever stamps, available in sheets of 20, are available nationwide
today at usps.com/shop,
800-782-6724 and at most Post Offices. The back of the stamp sheet offers heart
healthy tips.
The Heart Health
Forever stamp was dedicated at MedStar
Washington Hospital
Center by U.S.
“Prevention is the key
to eliminating heart attacks and strokes,” said Benjamin. “We are giving
Americans information and tools to make healthier choices to prevent tobacco
use, access healthy foods and find enjoyable ways to get regular exercise. The
Heart Health Social Awareness Stamp and the Million Hearts Campaign are
great reminders of the importance of prevention.”
“Nothing touches the
heart like a letter from a loved one,” said Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe. “We hope Americans will use our 2012 Heart Health Social Awareness stamps for
writing letters to loved ones and friends.”
