In a heartbeat, you could be the difference.
9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital don’t survive. Most of the time, it’s because no one nearby performed CPR. But together, we can change that.
Extraordinary things happen when people take action. A small step. A simple skill. A lifesaving moment. Heart Walk brings communities together to create health and hope for every heartbeat. Every walker who joins, every dollar donated, means more people trained in CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone.
After years of my grandfather trying different forms treatments for his cardiomyopathy, nothing was working. Because somebody else was an organ donor, my grandfather is still able to be here today and have an entirey new chance at life. Over 10 years ago, my grandfather recieved a total heart transplant that saved his life at AGH Hospital.
Bring awareness, donate, become an organ donor.
Help your neighbor in anyway that you can. Just because it may feel small to you, it may be life changing to someone else.
