We walk in memory of Tami Velie Esling; an amazing mother, wife, sister, daughter, aunt and friend, who lost her battle with heart disease 9 years ago due to a family genetic heart defect. We lost our mother to the same disease. Tami's daughter Anna is also traveling this familial path. We walk to help the American Heart Association fund research to help famiies like ours.

 

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 walker who joins, every dollar donated, means more people trained in lifesaving CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone. ​

 

I Walk to Save Lives. Help me reach my goal today by joining our team or donating towards our goal. Together, we can turn bystanders into lifesavers. Thank you.
