This week marks a new beginning for Rebecca Hilger, Jeanene Hopgood, Angela McKinney and Kelyn Nightengale, the four local women recently selected by the American Heart Association (heart.org) for the 2015 Lincoln Go Red for Women BetterU Makeover Challenge presented by Madonna ProActive. Following a June 25 casting call that attracted more than 50 women, Hilger, Hopgood, McKinney and Nightengale were chosen to participate in the free 12-week challenge that enables women to live a heart-healthy lifestyle. BetterU, which is a part of the Go Red for Women initiative sponsored nationally by Macy’s, is also supported locally by media sponsors 10/11 News and 106.3 KFRX. Lindsey Nielsen from 106.3 KFRX and Mega Sugianto from 10/11 News will take part in the program alongside the four women. At the end of the challenge, participants will be recognized at the Lincoln Go Red For Women Expo, October 8, at the Pinnacle Bank Arena. (Call 402-875-7382 to purchase individual tickets or tables.)
