Leah was born with an atrial septal defect (ASD). That means she had a hole between the upper heart chambers, and that hole increased the amount of blood going through the lungs. Thankfully, after her Echo in 2024, we learned that her hole closed and we were discharged from pediatric cardiology!

 

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 walker who joins, every dollar donated, means more people trained in lifesaving CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone. ​
