MORE: Approximately 9 in 10 people who experience cardiac arrest outside the hospital die. In many cases, bystander CPR is not performed. Through fundraising, community education and corporate engagement, the Heart Walk expands local CPR training access, strengthens bystander readiness and supports research to save and improve lives from cardiovascular disease and stroke, the leading cause of death in Stark County. This event supports the lifesaving mission of the American Heart Association, a relentless force changing the future of health for everyone everywhere, to advance longer, healthier lives in our community.
