Did you know that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women? Or that 9 out of 10 people who experience cardiac arrest outside of a hospital don?t survive? In most of those cases, bystander CPR wasn?t performed ? but together, we can help change that.

This cause is especially close to my heart, as several of my own family members have been directly affected by heart problems. Many people live with heart issues without even knowing it! It can truly be a silent killer. Cardiac arrest can strike anywhere ? at work, at home, or even on vacation. The readiness of our community can truly be the difference between life and death.

Now is the time to come together, take action, and save lives. Every walker who participates and every dollar donated helps train more people in lifesaving CPR, fuels vital research, and creates more lifesaving moments for everyone.

I walk to raise awareness ? and I invite you to join me. Please help me reach my goal by donating to my team today. Together, we can turn bystanders into lifesavers!
