Dear Friends and Community Members,

As a coach for the walk, I am reaching out to you with a heartfelt plea to join me in a cause that is very close to my heart. Heart conditions are alarmingly prevalent, and I have a personal connection to this cause. When I was just seven years old, I lost my dad to a combination of health challenges, including a heart condition. This loss has fueled my passion to make a difference and save lives.

Did you know that 9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital do not survive? In most of these cases, bystander CPR was not performed. But we have the power to change this.

Cardiac arrests can happen anywhere – at work, in homes, on athletic fields, and in neighborhoods. The readiness of our community can be the difference between life and death. It's time for us to unite, take action, and save lives.

Every walker who joins our team and every dollar donated means more people trained in lifesaving CPR, more research, and more lifesaving moments for everyone. Together, we can turn bystanders into lifesavers.

I Walk to Save Lives. Help me reach my goal today by joining our team or donating towards our goal. Together, we can make a significant impact and create a safer, more prepared community.

Thank you for your support and generosity.

With heartfelt gratitude, Doris De Los Santos
