I walk for my dad, Stan DeFehr, who served Bartlesville and the surrounding communities in Oklahoma for almost 40 years as a cardiologist.  I walk for his patients and their families that had a second opportunity at life and a better quality of life because of his dedication and love for his profession.

 

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.​
