LUBBOCK, Texas — The American Heart Association of Texas is excited to bring back their Lubbock Heart Walk on Saturday, October 3.
According to the association, nine out of ten people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital don’t survive, with a majority of those deaths due to no one knowing CPR nearby. The Heart Walk is meant to bring communities together to create health and hope for everyone.
