I Walk to Save Lives. I walk in the memory of my grandparents who both had heart disease, my great uncle who had multiple strokes and to honor my Mom who is currently working hard in recovering from a heart attack, and my aunties who had strokes and are working very hard to recover. They are my reason why I walk, to honor, love and in memory of loved ones lost too early to this disease.
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.
