As SGA President at Watts College of Nursing, I’m proud to lead this year’s Triangle Heart Walk Team, The Cardiac Crew, in partnership with Duke University Health System. This cause is close to our hearts as we unite annually to raise awareness, promote heart health, and support life-saving research through the American Heart Association. Every step we take brings us closer to healthier communities and brighter futures.
If you feel moved to contribute, I would be deeply grateful for your donation to help us reach our fundraising goal and surpass last year’s success. With your support, we can make every step count!
Here are more details from the American Heart Association (AHA):
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 dollar donated means more people trained in lifesaving CPR, more research, and more lifesaving moments for everyone. Together, we can turn bystanders into lifesavers!
