In a heartbeat, you could be the difference.

9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital don't survive. Often, it's because no one nearby knew CPR or felt prepared to step in. But together, we can change that.

Extraordinary things happen when ordinary people take action. A small step. A simple skill. A lifesaving moment. Through Heart Walk, communities come together to create hope, fund critical research, and help more people learn lifesaving CPR. Every walker who joins and every dollar donated brings us one step closer to saving more lives.

For me, this cause is personal. Like so many families, mine has been touched by heart disease. I walk in honor of my grandfather, my mom, Marie, Poppop, Jim, and Linda, and for the countless others we love who have faced heart-related challenges. Their experiences remind me how precious every heartbeat truly is and how important it is to support research, education, and prevention.

Extraordinary starts with YOU. I walk because heart disease isn't just a statistic. It's personal. It's our parents, grandparents, family members, friends, and neighbors. It's the people we love. Please help me honor those who have been affected and support the lifesaving work of the American Heart Association by making a donation today. Every gift, no matter the size, helps create a healthier future for all of us.
