UPDATE: Thank you so much to everybody for their generous donations leading up to the AHA Heart Walk on November 1! I had to raise my fundraising goal multiple times over the last few weeks thanks to all of your support. For anybody else who wishes to contribute, my donation page will be up through December 31. Thank you!

My story: 9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital die. On November 14, 2024, I collapsed at the gym and my heart stopped. The quick actions of bystanders and first responders who administered CPR saved my life, to whom I am eternally grateful.
Through this horrifying experience, I was diagnosed with a rare genetic heart condition that puts me and my family members at risk of sudden cardiac death.
Cardiac arrests happen at work, in homes, on athletic fields and in neighborhoods everywhere, and the readiness of our communities can be the difference between life and death.
Every dollar donated means more people trained in lifesaving CPR, more research for conditions like mine, and more lifesaving moments for everyone.
Another way to support me would be to sign up for a CPR class. It takes just a few hours to turn from a bystander into a lifesaver, and you can find one near you:
One year after nearly losing my life, I am walking to save lives! Please help me on this mission.
