We have named our team Hearts In Motion - Step IT Up and we invite you to join us. Join us in getting more people comfortable with CPR. Join us in getting ourselves, our loved ones, our communities more heart healthy. Join us in raising funds for research at UCSF and other institutions to improve all of our health and outcomes. Cardiac issues are the top killers in our country and impact all of us.
Cardiac events 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. 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.
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.
Kay was, in a former life, a cardiac cath lab nurse and been on the front line of trying to save lives impacted by cardiac issues. Thea, lost her 59 year old brother-in-law this year to a cardiac event. Karen has been an ardent supporter of health causes and is a veteran of Health Walks.
We Walk to Save Lives. Join us! Move more! Help us reach our goal.
