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. For the past five years, I’ve proudly participated in the American Heart Association Heart Walk. This cause is especially close to my heart, as cardiac disease has personally impacted several of my close family members—including me.
As a cardiac nurse, I’ve spent years encouraging others to prioritize their heart health, and I believe it’s just as important for me to practice what I preach. I walk for my family, for myself, for my patients, and for everyone whose life has been touched by heart disease. This year may look a little different for me in a new city but my passion for this cause remains the same. Every donation, no matter the amount, helps make a difference.
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!
