My why has recently changed from being a nurse giving care to this patient population to watching a loved one become this patient population : My husband suffered a stroke and cardiac issues on 8/18/2026. The stroke was recognized, 911 called and rushed to the hospital to receive immediate care. His life would have been forever changed if he did not receive the outstanding care and meds needed to give him the best chance at a normal life.
In a heartbeat, you could be the difference... whether it be calling 911 after recognizing signs of a stroke or performing cpr until help arrives.
9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital don't survive. Most of the time, it's because no one nearby performed CPR. But together, we can change that.
Extraordinary things happen when people take action. A small step. A simple skill. A lifesaving moment. Heart Walk brings communities together to create health and hope for every heartbeat. Every walker who joins, every dollar donated, means more people trained in CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone.
Extraordinary starts with YOU. Help me reach my goal today!
