#3forHeart CPR Challenge

The American Heart Association is honored and excited to be working with Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin for Damar Hamlin’s #3forHeart™ CPR Challenge.

On January 2, 2023, Damar Hamlin suffered a sudden cardiac arrest during a Monday Night Football game versus the Cincinnati Bengals. He received immediate lifesaving CPR on the field, was rushed to the hospital where he continued treatment, and is now at home and on the road to recovery.

Damar is hoping to use his story to help educate the public on the importance of learning CPR.

#3forHeart is a social media-based challenge launched by Damar, with the support of the American Heart Association. #3forHeart is Damar’s personal call to action for everyone to learn CPR and pay it forward, after his own life was saved by CPR. Head to heart.org/3 to take the challenge!

Damar Hamlin’s #3forHeart™ CPR Challenge has 3 steps:

1. Learn: Visit Heart.org/3 and watch the video to learn Hands-Only CPR.

2. Give: Donate to the American Heart Association to fund CPR education and training, and other lifesaving programs and scientific research.

3. Share: Show us your heart using #3forHeart to share that you took the challenge and tag 3 friends to do the same.

“The world watched in fear when Damar collapsed during that game, ” said Nancy Brown, Chief Executive Officer of the American Heart Association. “But if you follow his advice, you can become a lifesaver in 3 steps, and you’ll know what to do in the event an adult or teen suddenly collapses in your presence Because most cardiac arrests that happen outside of a hospital occur in the home, the life you save will most likely be a loved one. The volunteers, supporters and staff of the American Heart Association are so grateful that he is paying it forward and helping ensure others also have a better chance for a positive outcome.”
