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. ?
My cousin JB recently passed away from cardiac thrombosis. He was 63, he leaves behind two children who are young adults in the early stages of their careers. He was an active individual who refereed soccer matches across the midwest. In this role, he acted as a mentor to many refs and soccer enthusiasts across the country. As a litigator and partner in a firm, he was held in high regard. I'm walking in memory of him and my father who battled coronary disease for over 25 years.
These are just reminders that 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 and to honor my loved ones. Help me reach my goal today.?
