My experience:

I am an aortic dissection (type A &B) survivor. I didn't know that my life could change so quick. I was woke up out of my sleep with chest pains and I knew I had to go to the hospital. Little did I know it would be something as extreme and serious as my diagnosis. After spending over a month in the ICU I was able to come home to my family! As I manage this new life of mine, I walk with meaning and purpose to maintain my heart health.

I Walk to Save Lives. Help me reach my goal today.

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.

Fact:

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.
