In a heartbeat, you could be the difference.

9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital don’t survive. Most of the time, it’s because no one nearby performed CPR. I can only tell my story because I am one of the fortunate ones. 

On October 27th, 2024 during the Bills/Seattle game (Go Bills!) I suffered a cardiac arrest, an electrical dysfunction of the heart. If it wasn't for my Wife, Melissa, starting CPR immediately and my son, Fred, calling 911, I would not be here. Their quick action combined with knowing the right thing to do made all the difference.

Part of the road to recovery is realizing how important it is for more people to learn CPR, including Hands Only CPR. If more people knew this critical skill we could make a crucial difference in cardiac arrest survival.

My family and I are proud to partner with the American Heart Association. Every dollar donated means more people trained in CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone and builds a stronger community where every neighbor can help one another. Together, we can do extraordinary things and extraordinary starts with YOU. Help me reach my goal today!
