Heart defects and heart attacks are my families story. Both paternal Grandparents, my Dad and my Mom all had heart issues, my Grandson was born with coarctation of the Aorta and had heart surgery at 5 days old. So this is personal on a certain level, but not just for my family but for the 9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital and 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 dollar donated, means more people trained in lifesaving CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone. Together, we can turn bystanders into lifesavers.
I Walk to Save Lives. Help me reach my goal today.
