In 2010 my Granny passed away from congestive heart failure. In 2011 a friend and I were talking about our Grandmothers one day and realized they both passed from the same thing. Her last name also happened to be Williams. We were working on our health and decided we would walk in the Atlanta Heart Walk that year. From that conversation Team Sweethearts was formed! Each year our Team might look a little different but our walk ALWAYS comes from all of our love of family and friends! We want to continue to raise awareness about heart health and raise much needed funds to continue the fight! 

 

Did you know 9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital die? In most of those cases, bystander CPR was not performed. But we can change this. ​

 

Cardiac arrests happen at work, in homes, on athletic fields and in neighborhoods everywhere, and the readiness of our community can be the difference between life and death. ​

 

It's time to unite, take action, and save lives. Every walker who joins, every dollar donated, means more people trained in lifesaving CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone. ​

 

I Walk to Save Lives. Help me reach my goal today by joining our team or donating towards our goal. Together, we can turn bystanders into lifesavers.

Thank you, Team Sweethearts
