Hello!
I am supporting the American Heart Association to spread awareness about heart conditions and to encourage one another to maintain an active lifestyle.
One of the American Heart Association's goals is to train at least one person per household on how to take action if a family member is having signs of a heart attack or stroke.
I support the AHA goal. In addition, my goal is that each household have at least one "champion" who encourages family members to maintain an active lifestyle.
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 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. Help me reach my goal today.
