I am a cardiac arrest survivor thanks to the quick actions of my Physical Therapist and care team, who followed their training and knew exactly what to do when I needed their help.  While at an appointment, I suddenly collapsed and my care team started immediate chest compressions and sent help to get the nearby AED.  They continued CPR and shocked me with the AED as it instructed and they cared for me until the paramedics arrived.  Just minutes later I regained my consciousness, unaware of what had just happened.  

I am extremely grateful for the heroic lifesavers who stayed calm brought me back to life and I want to encourage others to learn CPR and join the Nation of Lifesavers!

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.  

Extraordinary starts with YOU. Help me reach my goal today!
