In a heartbeat, you could be the difference.
9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital don’t survive. Most of the time, it’s because no one nearby performed CPR. But together, we can change that.
Extraordinary things happen when people take action. A small step. A simple skill. A lifesaving moment. Heart Walk brings communities together to create health and hope for every heartbeat. Every walker who joins, every dollar donated, means more people trained in CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone.
This year my father went to his doctor in June and told her about some tightening in his chest back in April. At that visit she made an appointment for 1130 that same morning with a cardiologist. From that appointment they sent him straight to the hosptial to be admitted on 29 June with being told he would have bypass surgery on Wednesday, 1 July. He had so much blockage that if he had not gone to the Cardiologist that morning, he may not be here today.
Extraordinary starts with YOU. Help me reach my goal today!
