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 thank God, I didn't experience a cardiac arrest event. But my heart still needed some TLC and on February 14, I underwent coronary bypass surgery. The come back wasn't easy, but I'm still standing, strong.
And as long as I'm standing, I'm going to work to help save more lives.
Won't you help me reach my goal?
