2026 Upstate Heart Walk
HTI Wellness Warriors
At HTI, this cause is personal.
Nine out of ten people who suffer cardiac arrest outside of a hospital do not survive - often because help doesn’t come fast enough. But we also know something equally powerful: when people are prepared to act, lives can be saved.
Within our own HTI family, we have colleagues who have experienced cardiac events, and we are incredibly grateful that they are still with us today. Their stories are a reminder that cardiac arrest doesn’t just happen “somewhere else.” It can happen at work, at home, on the field, or in our neighborhoods. It can happen to people we know and care about.
That’s why we walk.
We walk to raise awareness, to support lifesaving research, and to help train more people in CPR - because a prepared bystander can be the difference between life and loss. Every step we take and every dollar we raise helps turn bystanders into lifesavers and gives more families the chance to keep their loved ones.
We walk for our coworkers.
We walk for our families.
We walk for the moments and milestones that are only possible because someone was ready to act.
We Walk to Save Lives. Please consider joining our HTI team or donating toward our goal. Together, we can take action, honor the lives already saved, and help ensure more stories end in gratitude and hope.
