\n regional impact through active engagement and leadership participation.<\/p>\n

This year, we\u2019re setting the goal to form 30 teams and have 300 walkers from USF in support of the American Heart Association\u2019s mission to save lives through

\n access to videos, resources, and tools to learn the life-saving skill of Hands-Only
\n CPR.\u00a0<\/p>\n
