My Story.

On May 22nd, 2025 at only 25 years old I became a Sudden Cardiac Arrest Survivor. I was at my apartment gym when, while working out I went into VFIB. Fortunately, the only other person in the gym at the happened to be a nurse who immediately called 911 and began CPR until the fire department came with an AED and successfully shocked my heart back into rhythm. Where I was working out did not have an AED, and in NC they are not required to be in many social areas. I am only here today because another individual knew CPR AND knew to call 911. Next time you're working out, shopping or at a restaurant think do they have an AED? 

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!
