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. \u200b
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. \u200b
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.\u200b
(Photo: My Dad is the person in my profile photo. This photo was taken at the 2019 AHA Heart Walk. He completed the Survivor's Route with his walker in tow. In 2024, Dad passed away from cardiac arrest. This September I am fundraising and walking in his memory.)
I walk in memory of Dad, Nanay Angie, Uncle Jun, Tito Phey and Uncle Tolits Atangan.
I also walk in honor of Uncle Danny and my friend Trac.
