Why I Walk
As some of you know, I lost my dad to a heart attack at a very young age. Though he received CPR, it couldn’t overcome the heart disease he battled for years.
I walk to live a healthier life, to set an example for my daughter, and to be present for her far beyond the 11 short years I had with my dad.
9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital die. In most of those cases, bystander CPR was not performed. But we can change this.
Cardiac arrests happen at work, in homes, on athletic fields and in neighborhoods everywhere, and the readiness of our community can be the difference between life and death.
