Teaming up with the American Heart Association is deeply personal?to honor the legacy of my late grandfather, protect the life of a father with an aortic aneurysm and to build a healthier future for my future son who will carry our name forward. My grandfather suffered a massive heart attack at 55 and due to quick reacting by our local health care professionals; was able to life a full life until the age of 86. I?m committed to helping advance awareness, prevention, and research so that families like mine can have more time, more strength, and more moments together.

 

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.
