Description

Are you interested in saving the world? Just like Swedish House Mafia’s song, we need your help to help us in empowering more people both locally in United States as well as Globally to fight against pre-hospital cardic deaths.

Every day, on average 600 people in United States experience cardic arrest and 70% of which occurs outside of hospitals. The brain starts to die within 3 minutes of the on-set of cardic arrest, this is why we train CPR and CPR saves lives!

Our Mission

To call out the hero in each of us… to learn and live. How your role will support us is in getting the word out so people know the awesome classes we are offering and get the world excited about making a difference.
