When an emergency happens, it often starts with one person willing to act.
That person could be you.
Take the pledge to be ready to respond when it matters most.
Sudden cardiac arrest can happen anywhere—at home, at work, at school, or in your community. Survival often depends on bystanders taking immediate action:
- Calling 911
- Starting CPR
- Using an AED
Being ready doesn’t require being a professional.
It starts with a decision.
It starts with you.
WHY TAKE THE PLEDGE
By taking the pledge, you are committing to:
- Learn or refresh CPR and AED basics
- Be willing to act in an emergency
- Help spread awareness that saves lives
Small actions, big impact.
