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. These challenges are often compounded by barriers to healthcare access, including living in rural communities, limited transportation, and delays in receiving emergency care. But together, we can change that.
Growing up in a rural community, witnessing family members and friends face heart conditions, and drawing on my experience as a nurse have all inspired me to become a coach for the American Heart Association's Triad Heart Walk. My goal is to raise awareness about heart health and emphasize the importance of CPR preparedness - not just for my family or my patients, but the community. I would be honored to have you join me in this effort as we work together to build healthier communities and save lives.
Extraordinary things happen when people take action. A small step. A simple skill. A lifesaving moment. The Heart Walk brings communities together to create health and hope for every heartbeat. Every walker who joins, every dollar donated, means more people trained in CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone.
Extraordinary starts with YOU. Help me reach my goal today!
