Chris is passionate about training in life-saving skills and eliminating denial at the onset of an emergency. He's seen firsthand, the value of a community of bystanders working together and confronted firsthand the impact of bystanders' unwillingness to take action. Turns out CPR saves lives and training is a small way that we can make a difference. For the patient, though, it might be the biggest difference in their life.
