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.

 

This is exactly what happened to my dad on March 7, 2019. A driver from Waste Management found my dad laying on the front yard. Although our beloved neighbor started CPR until EMS got there, it was too late. I will never forget that day. My dad had so much life and had so much to give. 

It's time to unite, take action, and save lives. Every walker who joins, every dollar donated, means more people trained in lifesaving CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone.

 

I Walk in honor of my dad, "Honey", those lost to heart attacks, heart disease and to Save Lives. Help me reach my goal today by joining our team or donating towards our goal. Together, we can turn bystanders into lifesavers.
