9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital die. In most of those cases, bystander CPR was not performed. My good friend, Kirsten Wurzbach Jones, was one of them. But we can change this. ?
I suffered a Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) and was fortunate that it did not lead to cardiac arrest for me. I also lost another friend, Brooke Deter Thomas, from a heart attack close to the time of my SCAD and my other friend's death.
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.?
