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 walker who joins, every dollar donated, means more people trained in lifesaving CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone. ​

I Walk to Save Lives. Help me reach my goal today by joining our team or donating towards our goal. Together, we can turn bystanders into lifesavers.

Who would have known at 34 I would need a pacemaker? I had not been feeling well for a couple days and one night while working at the hospital I put on a telemetry monitor to see how my heart was beating. It showed that I was in a heart block, after my shift ended that morning I went to the emergency room to be checked out. I ended being sent home with a continous heart monitor that would send notifications to my primary care doctor if my heart did anything critical. That evening i received a call from my doctor telling me I was in a serious heart block and needed to be admitted to the hospital. While there my heart rate dropped to a critically low rate. I was started on some medication to try to stop it from happening, it did not work. My cardiologist decided it was necessary for me to have a pacemaker implanted, so in February of 2019 I got a tiny pacemaker implanted into my heart!
