9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital die. My father was almost one of them.

 

When he woke up in the middle of the night with severe chest pain, my mom called an ambulance right away. Since then, I've made sure she knows how to perform bystander CPR.

 

In most of those cases, bystander CPR is 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.
