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.
This year means a little more to me…
I’m participating in the Heart Walk again, but this time it’s especially close to my heart because my little cousin has been chosen as the featured Heart Hero.
Watching someone so young show so much strength and courage is something that really puts things into perspective. Congenital heart disease affects so many families, and events like this help fund life-saving research, support, and awareness.
If you’re able to, I’d truly appreciate any donation—big or small. Every dollar helps make a difference for kids like my cousins (Tate and Poppy) and so many others fighting heart conditions.
