Our Story

## Why We Started This

In December 2025, sudden cardiac arrest changed our family’s life in an instant. Our dad collapsed at home — no warning signs, no history.

It could have ended very differently. A year earlier, our mom had taken a CPR class through her company — one of those workplace trainings she figured she’d never use. That morning, she did. With a 911 dispatcher on the line, she started compressions and kept his heart going until EMTs arrived. Her training saved his life.

Restoring the Rhythm is what came out of that moment. We started this because we know what one CPR class can do — and because no family should have to find out the way we did.

What We Do

## Building a Community Around the Moments That Matter Most

From education and awareness to emotional and financial support, we’re here for every part of the journey.

### Raising Awareness

Most people don’t know the difference between cardiac arrest and a heart attack. We’re changing that.

### CPR Education

You don’t need a medical background to save a life. CPR made the difference for our family.

### Survivor & Family Support

Resources, guidance, and financial assistance for the long road of recovery.

### First Responder Support

Giving back to the heroes who show up on the hardest days.
