My picture is that of the first person in my life that was affected by heart disease. My Grandpa Bob was the first and unfortunately not the last family member to fight heart disease and ultimately have it take his life. It has touched everyone in my family somehow. My Uncle Mark, Uncle Larry and my Brother Tom. It doesn't discriminate.
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. â??
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.
