2025 was the first year that I participated in the Heart Walk. My work place, Penta Research, Inc., held several events with representatives from the AHA to spread awareness and hold CPR training classes. Before then, I did not understand how important this cause is. Now, I am excited to know that I can help make a difference.

 

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.
