Sudden Cardiac Arrest is blind to age, gender and color and strikes without warning. Someone you know will be a victim. Are you ready?

Despite the grim statistics of this killer, there is good news: Heart failure doesn’t mean death. You could be the one to save a victim’s life and Starting Hearts is here to help!
