Knowing how to perform adult CPR correctly can mean the difference between life and death during a cardiac emergency. When the heart stops, immediate CPR helps circulate oxygen-rich blood to the brain and vital organs until professional help arrives.

Proper training through CPR certification ensures you are prepared to act confidently when seconds matter.

Some gifts are meaningful in the moment. Others last a lifetime. Gifting a CPR class is a powerful way to show care, responsibility, and love—because it’s a gift that can save a life.

By sharing CPR certification with a loved one, you’re giving them more than training—you’re giving them confidence to act in an emergency.

There are moments in life that change everything. For me, that moment was the day my heart stopped—and a stranger chose to act. This letter is for the bystander who didn’t hesitate, who stepped forward, and who gave me a second chance at life.

Sudden cardiac arrest can occur anywhere—including schools. When students are trained in CPR, they gain the skills and confidence to act during emergencies, potentially saving lives both on and off campus.

When emergencies strike, age doesn’t define heroism—action does. Across the world, teenagers are stepping up in critical moments, using their CPR training to save lives. These powerful stories prove that lifesaving skills are not just for professionals.

One person learning CPR may seem like a small step—but its impact can be enormous. When someone becomes CPR certified, the knowledge doesn’t stop with them. It spreads through families, workplaces, and communities, creating a ripple effect that can save multiple lives over time.

National CPR and AED Awareness Week is an important opportunity to educate communities, promote lifesaving skills, and encourage people to act confidently during cardiac emergencies. Every year, thousands of lives could be saved if more bystanders knew how to perform CPR and use an AED.
