9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital don’t survive.
In most of those cases, bystander CPR was not performed — even though early CPR can dramatically increase a person’s chance of survival. But this is something we can change.

Cardiac arrest doesn’t just happen in hospitals. It happens at work, at home, on athletic fields, and in neighborhoods every day. It can happen to anyone, at any age, often without warning. When it does, the first few minutes matter most, and the actions of nearby bystanders can mean the difference between life and death.

That’s why community readiness is so critical. CPR training empowers ordinary people to take lifesaving action, turning fear and hesitation into confidence and response. The more people who are trained, the more lives can be saved.

It’s time to unite, take action, and save lives.
Every dollar donated helps train more people in lifesaving CPR, supports vital research, and creates more moments where lives are saved instead of lost. Together, we can turn bystanders into lifesavers.
