In a heartbeat, you could be the difference.

I recently learned that 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.

Our hospital, Covenant Health Claiborne, is participating in the Greater Knoxville Heart Walk this fall. We want to bring more awareness to our community about Hands Only CPR and spread the word about how important it is for everyone to learn how to perform this simple task that saves lives.

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!
