I walk in honor of my dad. After surviving a stroke, his life was forever changed, but his strength and perseverance never wavered. Years later, we lost him, but his memory continues to inspire me every day. I walk to honor his journey, to raise awareness, and to support the ongoing fight against heart disease and stroke so that other families can have more time with the ones they love.

 

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.

 

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