Welcome to the team Ethan's Heart Guardians! I have decided to do the heart walk to honor my baby boy Ethan. He was born with a heart defect called Tetralogy of Fallot. Recently at just 3 months old he went for his open heart surgery where they repaired the hole and widened the valve to clear the obstruction. He is such a strong boy and recovering well. I want to spread awareness for congenital heart disease (CHD) and be more involved in the heart community for my son.

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 walker who joins, every dollar donated, means more people trained in lifesaving CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone. ​

I Walk 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.
