My grandfather had 3 open heart surgeries before he was 50. He passed away at 67 due to a heart attack.
I know many other friends and loved ones that have been taken from us far too early due to heart attacks. Many of them in phenomenal shape. I'm sure you have your own names and faces that come to mind. 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.
It may save the life of your grandfather, your father, your mother, your child, or even you.
