9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital die. My husband Justin was one of the 9. In most of those cases, bystander CPR was not performed. Even though bystanders performed CPR the impact was too great to survive. Diabetics have a significant risk of cardiac arrest and we did not know of this risk.
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. ?I am registered for CPR certification now to protect family members.
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.?
