We’re the HeartMates – and we walk with purpose!❤

Every day in the CICU, we see just how powerful a heartbeat is — and how quickly it can be taken away. That’s why we’re walking in the 2025 Alachua County Heart Walk — to raise awareness, fund research, and train more lifesavers in our community.

Did you know that 9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital don’t survive? In most cases, bystander CPR wasn’t performed. We can help change that — starting right here, right now.

More walkers = more CPR-trained community members
More donations = more research, more tools, more lives saved
More HeartMates = more heart in the fight!

Whether you're joining us on walk day or cheering us on from afar, we’d love your support. Help us raise funds, spread awareness, and show the power of a team that cares with all its heart.

Join Team HeartMates or donate today — because saving lives starts with each step we take.
