My stroke actually saved my life! As crazy as that may sound, my hemorrhagic stroke was a warning sign to me that I needed to start taking care of myself! It has been quite a healing journey for me, but I wanted to use my experience as a warning to everyone I love to please take care of your body and listen to your body when it is telling you something isn't right! I was blessed to get a "2nd chance" and I am surely not going to waste it!
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.
