American Heart Association Heart Walk

BraveBrysen

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. \u200b

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. \u200b

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. \u200b

Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are problems present at birth that affect the structure and function of the heart.

CHDs are America's most common birth defect, affecting nearly 40,000 babies each year in the U.S alone. This equates to 1 child every 15 minutes.

Even with improved treatments, people with CHDs are not cured, even if their heart defect has been repaired. People with a CHD can develop other health problems over time, depending on their specific heart defect, the number of heart defects they have, and the severity of their heart defect.

I Walk to Save Lives just like my son. Help me reach my goal today by joining our team or donating towards our goal. Together, we can turn bystanders into lifesavers. And bring more awareness to the littlest fighters.
