I'm a heart survivor! In January 2018 I suffered a heart attack at work. I'm a pretty healthy and fit individual, so it came as a shock. I'm participating in the AHA Heart Mini 5k Run to raise awareness of heart disease, encourage everyone to talk to their doctor about heart risk, and to make sure at least one person per household learns hands-only CPR.
9 out of 10 people who suffer a cardiac arrest outside of a hospital setting don't survive, and most of the time, CPR is not performed.
Heart disease is the No. 1 killer worldwide and stroke ranks second globally. Please join my team or donate today and help us change this statistic!
