Mark passed away on March 28th from a massive heart attack. Mark was the love of my life, but he was also a father, grandfather, brother, son and best friend. Mark was kind, selfless, he had a personailty that was geniune and honest he had a smile that geniunely came from his soul and everything he did came from a place of love. He made me want to be a better person everyday. Mark was loved by all that knew him and we all will forever miss how he loved us and how it felt to be loved by him. His love was a unique and rare gift, and when he loved he loved with all his heart, his love changed me and I will be forever grateful for the impact that he made and still makes on my life everyday. Mark had a passion for life that was unmatched, he lived his life unapologetically so now as a way to honor his life and memory we are going to walk for him.
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.
