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. \u200b

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. \u200b

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.\u200b

The reason I am participating in this walk is that the American Heart Association is near and dear to my heart. My father passed away from a massive heart attack back in 2018. He had his first massive heart attack at the age of 30. He was also a smoker but by the time he quit the damage was already done. My dad's youngest brother (my Uncle) also passed from a massive heart attack at the tender age of 40. He also smoked, but genetics also was a factor, as both my grandfather and my grandmother (my dad's parents) also suffered from heart disease.

I Walk to Save Lives. Please help me reach my goal today.\u200b
