La Rabida is participating in the walk to save lives. I am walking not only for my young patients with cardiac issues but also for my dad, my friends and my loved ones. My dad has been blessed with an amazing cardiac team and I hope he never needs a friend, loved one or stranger to perform CPR. I, like many of you, have friends and family who have lost loved ones to cardiac arrest, most recently we lost a lifelong family friend who left behind two sons, a wife, and an unmeasurable number of family, friends and loved ones. We don't know who and when someone we love might rely on you or someone in the community to save their life.
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. \u200b
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. \u200b
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.\u200b
I Walk to Save Lives. Help me reach my goal today.\u200b
