Did you know that 9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital don’t survive? Most of the time, it’s because no one nearby performed CPR. But together, we can change that.
In my 20+ years working for nonprofit organizations, this is the first mission that hits close to home.
Heart disease and stroke have shaped my family's story for generations. My grandfather died of a heart attack when my mom was just 12 years old. My grandmother later suffered a debilitating stroke that affected the rest of her life. More recently, I've watched friends face serious cardiac events far too young.
That's why I'm proud to support the American Heart Association as a coach for our national Heart Walk team.
Extraordinary things happen when people take action. A small step. A simple skill. A lifesaving moment. Heart Walk brings communities together to create health and hope for every heartbeat. Every walker who joins, every dollar donated, means more people trained in CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone.
Extraordinary starts with YOU. Help me reach my goal today!
