Why do I walk? Because my mother suffered from heart disease at the age of 30. She was put on medicine that affected her kidneys after 30 years and had to have a heart defiberlator. She passed away in July 2017 from a cardiac arrest. My father also had  triple bypass at the age of 46 years old and later in life also had to have a heart defiberlator. I want to protect all those with heart related illnesses including my children and ensure that we get people active and living a more "heart healthy" lifestyle!!

 

 

9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital die. In most of those cases, bystander CPR was not performed. But we can change this. ​

 

Cardiac arrests happen at work, in homes, on athletic fields and in neighborhoods everywhere, and the readiness of our community can be the difference between life and death. ​

 

It's time to unite, take action, and save lives. Every walker who joins, every dollar donated, means more people trained in lifesaving CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone. ​

 

I Walk to Save Lives. Help me reach my goal today by joining our team or donating towards our goal. Together, we can turn bystanders into lifesavers.
