Every year about 350,000 out of hospital cardiac arrests occur, (That's more than HALF the entire population of Wyoming!) meaning that a bystander would need to step in and help!

If you haven't yet, sign up HERE and check it out to be a lifesaver, and share what you learned with friends and family! https://www2.heart.org/site/SPageNavigator/ym_school_search.html #KidsHeartChallenge #AmericanHeartAssociation @KidsHeartChallenge

We hope your student has been having fun and learning lots of new things about helping their hearts and helping others! You're doing our community a HUGE favor by helping to bring the awareness to heart disease, stroke, and CPR. The awareness leads to funding, and the funding leads to hope to ANYONE with a heart! Can you help us by: thinking of 10 family or friends who love to help and send them a message through your KHC page or app!? @KidsHeartChallenge
