9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital die. In most of those cases, bystander CPR was not performed. 

 

Bystander CPR recently saved my cousin-in-law's life. Our family will forever be grateful to the off-duty fireman who happened to be working out at the gym at the same time and quickly and selflessly stepped in to perform a miracle. 

 

Cardiac arrests happen at work, in homes, at the gym 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.

 

If you have a few dollars to share, thank you! If you have a few minutes, please think about learning how to perform CPR (or watch a video to refresh your knowledge). You may be the person who ensures that a family remains whole. I'll be running in deep gratitude.

 

P.S. Camila will run, too! :)
