A cardiac arrest survivor is speaking out to push CPR training, positive news for anyone who could one day need help in an emergency.

• A woman collapsed into sudden cardiac arrest while giving a speech at her grandfather's funeral three years ago.
• Cousins started CPR immediately and used an AED that shocked her heart twice before paramedics arrived, and she woke from a three-day coma.
• Doctors told her she would not have survived without the fast CPR and the AED being on hand.
• Nine out of ten people who go into cardiac arrest outside a hospital do not survive, which is why bystander training matters.
• The American Heart Association has trained 35,000 people in CPR this year and wants every household in Hawaii to learn hands-on CPR.

Outlook: The Hawaii Heart Walk takes place Saturday at Kapiolani Park, with free hands-on CPR lessons, activities, and a space to remember lost loved ones.
