This cause is near and dear to our *hearts* because my son was born with a congenital heart defect in December 2024. Ollie has severe pulmonary valve stenosis and will need valve replacement once he outgrows the 2 balloon valvuloplasty procedures he had at 3 days old and 1 month old. More funding means more research and better outcomes for all patients with heart conditions. We hope in our lifetime (or Ollie’s lifetime) research can help better treat, cure, and prevent some heart conditions.
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, 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.
I Walk to Save Lives. Help me reach my goal today.
