My family's history inspired me to change my family's future. I lost both of my parents to cardiovascular disease, at the ages of 59 and 70 respectively. I walk so that my kids don't have to.

 

I have a personal history which encourages me to educate. I am a nurse who performed bystander CPR in January 2024 and was lucky enough to meet and hug the man who lived. I walk because I think of him every day.

 

I have a passion for healthcare and nursing, which encourages me to spread the word. I walk because we NEED HELP.

 

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.

 

I Walk to Save Lives. Help me reach my goal today.
