My dad had his first heart attack right before he was 40 years old. I remember my mom threw him a surprise birthday party, but then had to tell him so he wouldn't be too shocked. He has since passed away in 2017 from cardiac complications.
Heart health issues have also affected other loved ones of mine and colleagues at both a very young age and later in life. This organization means a lot and any donation is greatly appreciated! I'm excited to walk and raise funds in the hopes of extending more lives.

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.?
