I fundraise and participate in this event because both of my parents faced heart disease and strokes. I walk to support the search for better treatment for heart disease and to help advance preventative options for people who are genetically predisposed to heart disease. Every step I take is for my parents' memory, for my family's future and for every family hoping for a healthier tomorrow!

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.\u200b
