When someone has a cardiac arrest, every second counts. The quicker someone steps in to help, the greater their chance of surviving.

But only 35% of people say they would feel confident stepping in during an emergency like this.

That’s why building public confidence and increasing CPR knowledge is so important. The more people who feel prepared to help, the more lives we can save together.
