Join Us in Walking to Save Lives!
Ryan, the kids, and I will be walking with a team from Pioneer Physicians to support a cause that is incredibly close to our hearts.
As many of you know, I suffered a cardiac arrest at home shortly after our twins, Jack and Ella, were born. It was caused by a rare type of heart attack called SCAD-Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection. SCAD is a leading cause of heart attacks in women under 50 and is strongly associated with pregnancy and the postpartum period.
Thankfully, Ryan's quick thinking and ability to perform Hands-Only CPR kept my heart beating until paramedics arrived. His actions saved my life!
But the reality is heartbreaking:
- 9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital do not survive.
- In most cases, bystander CPR is not performed-yet it can double or even triple survival chances.
We have the power to change this.
Cardiac arrests can happen anywhere-at home, work, sports fields, and in our communities. The more people trained in CPR, the more lives we can save.
Now is the time to unite, take action, and make a difference. Every dollar donated helps train more people in lifesaving CPR, funds critical research, and creates more lifesaving moments for families everywhere.
