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. As an Emergency Physician, I have seen patients survive because of bystander CPR. When we know it was started in the field, we know there is a better chance for a meaningful recovery. Another big one is - do you know where your AED is in your office? Just that simple check can decrease minutes to a lifesaving shock from the AED.
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.
Extraordinary starts with YOU. Help me reach my goal today!
