Fabrice Muamba, pictured above, at the age of 23 collapsed during a professional soccer match. His heart would not beat for 78 minutes, but because of immediate CPR from a fellow teammate, staff and even a fan, he would live to tell his story.
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.
