Teach CPR in School & Save Lives

I am your constituent and I want you to know that in a recent study of 623,000 cardiac arrest victims only 9% were able to survive. Their hearts stopped outside of a hospital and CPR was administered by a non professional. We need to make sure we all know and can deliver CPR effectively. CPR training only takes about 3 hours. If every high school student were trained in CPR hundreds of thousands of lives could be saved. I want you to bring forward legislation that includes CPR training in high school. You could even make it a graduation requirement. It is a really small thing that will mean so much to so many people. Thank you.
