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.
MY WHY: I have always had a deep love for the medical field. My mother owns her own pharmacy where I spent most of my time growing up. Watching her interact with her patients and peers with such love, care, kindness and compassion everyday no matter what she was going through inspired me to want to do the same. My dream is to open my own Physical Therapy office and help others just like my mom. When my school shared this opportunity to participate in this event I immediately signed up! It combines my two favorite things: being active and caring for others! Any donation helps save lives and improve the health care system, you never know what someone is going through.
Extraordinary starts with YOU. Help me reach my goal today!
