Cardiovascular disease is the number 1 killer in America. Like most families, our family has been impacted by cardiovascular disease. We can't change our genetics, but can improve our quality of life though diet and lifestyle modifications. 9 out of 10 people that suffer a cardiac arrest outside of the hospital don't survive. The American Heart Association is committed to helping people do both of these things. Every dollar donated, means more people trained in lifesaving CPR, more research, more preventative teaching, and more lifesaving moments.
