9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital die.

 

- 4 cardioversions (like the heart paddles from the tv shows only one is put on your chest and the other on your back)

- 2 ablations (internal heart surgeries)

After my heart attack: (outside of the hospital)

- 1 heart surgery

- 1 stint

 

I walk because everyone knows someone affected by heart disease, but most of us don't think about it until its way to late.

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.

 

I ask that you not support me but the cause.  To help those fighting heart disease and to keep reminding people to stay heart healthy. 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. and join us on our walk May 30th.
