Did you know that 9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital die? In most cases, no one nearby knew CPR. But we can change that.
This year at the AHA Chicago Heart Walk, we are walking with purpose—with our NeuroBeat team leading the way. We are neurologists, nurses, researchers, survivors, families, and neighbors united by one mission: protecting both hearts and brains.
Because what is good for the heart is good for the brain.
And what the brain knows can help us save the heart.
When the heart stops, the brain stops receiving oxygen. Within minutes, brain cells begin to die. That is why CPR is not just a cardiac intervention—it is a neurological emergency response. Every second matters. Every trained bystander matters. Every step we take now builds a future where more people know what to do and have the courage to act.
At NeuroBeat, we are using our brains to help our community build stronger hearts. Our team is raising funds to support research, train more people in CPR, and spread the message that health begins with knowledge and action.
A healthy brain starts with a healthy heart. And a healthier community starts with you.
❤ Join us. Walk with us. Donate with us. Learn with us.
Together, we can turn bystanders into lifesavers.
I walk to save lives. Help me reach my goal today.
