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.

 

Also, several of my loved ones faced heart attacks and other heart-related issues. I also am a stroke survivor, which the American Heart Association brings under its umbrella. Raising funds for the AHA helps with research and other related efforts towards heart and stroke issues.
