Many people know that heart health hits very close to home for me. I lost my dad to a heart attack. I've been told my biggest medical worry is my own cardiac health, given the extensive family history (not just my dad). I want to get better at taking care of my heart and I want to help raise more awareness.

 

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.
