I am walking in memory of my brother Alex. 10 years ago he died suddenly at the age of 23. Although he seemed healthy, the doctors suspect he had a heart condition. Specifically, Long Q-T syndrome. This went undiagnosed, like so many other cases.
I am walking with my kids. They have grown up doing the heart walk, and look forward to it evey year!
Thank you for taking the time to learn about our "why."
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. ​
It's time to unite, take action, and save lives. Every dollar donated, means more people trained in lifesaving CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone. Together, we can turn bystanders into lifesavers.​
I Walk to Save Lives. Help me reach my goal today.​
