As one who struggles with heart health issues, I support the American Heart Association's Heart Walk every year so that important research can continue in an effort to enhance treatment methods for the many people who combat the conditions related to high blood pressure and other heart health matters.
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, act, 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.
