In a heartbeat, you could be the difference.
Please join me in raising money for heart health education and research. I am participating in honor of my daughter. This past winter she survived a 99% blockage of one of her coranory arteries at 19 years old. The artery was blocked by scar tissue from an artery dissection. With a stent placed, she is unblocked and has a prognosis for a bright future as she continues her studies in pursuit of a career in medicine.
Thankfully, my daughter's condition was diagnosed before she had a major heart attack. 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!
