Tyson was 43 when his heart stopped during a guys’ weekend at a remote cabin. One of the friends called 911, while Max, a volunteer firefighter and trained emergency medical responder, started CPR.
After a week in the hospital, Tyson couldn't walk 10 feet or tie his shoes. Cardiac rehabilitation helped him get back to his old self.
"The doctors call my recovery a miracle, and in many ways, it was," Tyson said. "Without Max being there in my moment of greatest need, I simply wouldn't be here."
Saving a life with CPR doesn’t require any special training, just the willingness to act. Be ready by knowing the two steps of Hands-Only CPR: Call 911, then push hard and fast in the center of the chest.
