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.
Extraordinary starts with YOU. Help me reach my goal today!
My paternal grandmother passed away from a stroke. Cardiac disease/hypertension runs on both sides of my family but very strong on my paternal side. To be transparent, my blood pressure was on the low normal end of the range! I never experienced hypertension until I turned 40! I'm 50 now and it still is difficult to accept and to be compliant with management of hypertension and luckily I have no blockages and don't want any but I'm determined to live as long as I can and to be an example to others and say we can do this! I've had one small "mini" scare and that was enough to take it more serious. It has to start somewhere so I'm walking to promote healthy hearts for you and me!
