Each year in Canada, 60,000 cardiac arrests occur outside of a hospital setting.
That's 1 cardiac arrest every 9 minutes. Nine out of 10 will die.
But doing #CPR and using an #AED can double the chance of survival. Save a life.
This #CPRMonth, learn CPR: bit.ly/3X5nir7.

Research may be difficult to see. But Logan, Charlotte, Nora, Natalie, Charlie, Abby, and their families, feel its impact every day.
Fund more breakthroughs, the impact will continue beyond generations.

Julie Pfeffer received an early-morning call from her mom that changed everything. Instead of heading to work to run a mock code on a heart attack that leads to cardiac arrest, Julie rushed to her mom’s house where a real emergency was happening.
