Like many people, heart disease has touched my life in a very personal way. My grandfather, who played a huge role in my childhood, passed away due to complications from heart disease. My father, now 85, has also experienced some serious health events related to heart disease. Our family is incredibly grateful for the advances in research over the years, which have led to effective treatments and have made a meaningful difference in my father’s quality of life.
Here are some things to consider:
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.​
Thank you taking the time to read this.
