Over 2 years ago our Dad had a hemorrhagic stroke. Following the stroke he had multiple seizures that cut his oxygen off which led us his children to perform successful CPR on him not once but twice. We are very thankful that over 2 years later  that Dad has almost made a full recovery. We want to raise awareness to the Chicago Heart Walk foundation as this has become a very important event for our family. We thank you all for the support you have provided along the way. #Mikestrong

 

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 walker who joins, every dollar donated, means more people trained in lifesaving CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone. ​

 

I Walk to Save Lives. Help me reach my goal today by joining our team or donating towards our goal. Together, we can turn bystanders into lifesavers.
