Today's Advocate Spotlight is on Theresa Smith from Ohio! Theresa was recently presented with the Great Rivers Affiliate Distinguished Achievement Award for her great efforts as a You're the Cure advocate. We were lucky enough to be able to do a video interview with Theresa to spotlight her and her thoughts on AHA Advocacy!

Get your Life Check Now→Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of CPR!
In 1960, a group of resuscitation pioneers combined mouth-to-mouth breathing with chest compressions to create Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, the lifesaving action we now call “CPR.” This action, when provided immediately after a sudden cardiac arrest, can double – even triple – a victim’s chance of survival.
Join us throughout this anniversary year as we celebrate CPR and the people whose lives it has saved over the last 50 years!You're the Cure
You don't have to be a doctor to save lives. Just be willing to deliver a lifesaving message to public officials whenever you can. Maybe you've already participated with the American Heart Association before by walking in a Heart Walk. Or perhaps you've helped organize a gala event. Maybe you even helped someone survive a heart attack or stroke. At moments like these, You're the Cure. Even if you're someone who wants to get involved for the first time, you can be part of the cure.
