From the time I was old enough to remember, I felt my stomach flip, I watched my mother cry, and I attended the funeral of yet another family member who died from heart disease, heart attack, and stroke. I am walking so that my demise is not heart disease, heart attack, or stroke. I am raising money so that others can receive the help they need.
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 a heartbeat, you could be the difference.
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!
