Losing my younger brother to heart disease at just 62 years old has fueled my commitment to making a difference. As the chair of this year’s regional Heart Walk for the American Heart Association, I'm dedicated to raising awareness and funds to combat heart disease and improve heart health.
Did you know that 9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside of a hospital die? In many of these cases, lifesaving bystander CPR was not performed. But together, we can change this alarming statistic.
Cardiac arrests can occur anywhere—at work, at home, on athletic fields, and in our own neighborhoods. The readiness of our community to respond can mean the difference between life and death.
It’s time to unite, take action, and save lives. Every dollar you donate helps train more people in lifesaving CPR, funds vital research, and creates more lifesaving moments for everyone. Together, we can transform bystanders into lifesavers.
I walk in memory of my brother, and I walk to save lives. Join me in reaching my goal today. Your support means the world to me and to those who will benefit from our united efforts.
