I am 1 out of 10 people who suffered a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and survived. In my case, my wife performed CPR and called 911. The paramedics arrived 6 minutes later and revived me with a defribrillator. I owe my life to CPR and first responders.

 

I have since survived 8 more cardiac arrests thanks to my subcutaneous defibrillator.

 

Every dollar donated to the American Heart Association means more people trained in lifesaving CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone. Together, we can turn bystanders into lifesavers.
