Executives with Heart: A Movement Where Leadership Meets Lifesaving

Executives with Heart unites top local leaders around one goal: ensuring one person in every household is ready to save a life with CPR. While 61% of people are unsure of what to do in a cardiac emergency, these leaders are working to change that. They’re leading by example through donating, rallying their networks to do the same, and spreading lifesaving CPR education, all leading up to a celebration at the Heart Walk.

Executives with Heart: A Movement Where Leadership Meets Lifesaving

Welcome to Katherine Leyba's Personal Page

I lost my grandfather to a heart attack in 2011, and my 27-year old cousin to a heart attack in 2024, making this AHA Walk a personal mission. 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.

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.
