I walk to keep the memory of Dr. Michael Knapic alive. This organization was his passion. He had suffered a stroke years past and came back to work fully recovered and stronger than ever. His love for life, family and taking care of patients was his personal mission. Wooster Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine Center proudly walks for him, we are family, we love our communities and the patients we serve. If we can set a good example and continue to carry the torch we will.
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.
I Walk to Save Lives. Help me reach my goal today by joining our team or donating towards our goal. Together, we can turn bystanders into lifesavers.
