On June 29, 2023, I went into cardiac arrest in our home. Luckily, my wife and daughter were able to quickly call 911 and perform CPR. I am thankful every day for them -- and the EMS team that saved my life.
I was lucky. 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.
On August 16, my wife and I are walking to help 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.
Help me reach my goal today.
