10 years ago I had a stroke. I was home alone. I got help quickly as I recognized the FAST (Face, Arms, Speech, Time) symptoms put out by the American Heart Association. I was saved from a lifetime of diminished capacity due to their education and advocacy campaign. I am so greatful I made a full recovery. Donate and you can help keep these important messages going out to the public.
The AMA also provides education to detect signs of cardiac arrest. 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 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.?
