VIRGINIA BEACH -- If you're seeing red today, maybe you're not mad.

People are raising awareness about heart disease, the number one killer of U.S. women.

Friday is National Wear Red Day and in Hampton Roads, men got into the act.

"It's our second annual Go Red for Women Drag Race to really help bring attention to the fight," explained Lisa Davenport with the American Heart Assn.

First was the race and then the wardrobe competition for best dress-ed.

"First off, I don't have competition. I am clearly the most beautiful - man here," joked Tias Schuster.

"I'm looking around. I don't see much competition so I'm gonna take the best costume," predicted Steve Sarandos, who lost his mother to heart disease when he was nine.

When the competition was over, Sarandos took home the prize.
