  • 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.

Healthy Challenge Scavenger Hunt

Thursday, July 5, 2012

Need some indoor activities for the kids during the hot summer months?  Keep them physically active and go on a scavenger hunt in your very own house! Grab a friend, a sibling, or a parent and hunt for the items below. Leave this list up on your computer screen as you search for each item. As you complete each task, come back to the computer to read the next item on your list. Make it a race and see who can finish the list fastest. Use a stopwatch or a clock to time yourselves.

1. Touch 2 tissue boxes
2. Get in and out of bed (with covers) 5 times
3. Touch your mailbox
4. Grab a spoon from the kitchen and bring it back to the computer
5. Point to a healthy snack in the refrigerator, like fruit or vegetables
6. Touch every doorknob in the house as fast as you can
7. Find a food in your pantry or refrigerator with less than 100 calories per serving (check the nutrition label)
8. Find 3 red things in your house, bring them to the computer
9. Find 3 different soft items like a bath towel, bed sheet and t-shirt, bring them back to the computer
10. Grab the remote control and bring it to the computer
11. Touch 2 soap containers or bars
12. Grab your pillow and bring it to the computer
13. Touch your tube of toothpaste
14. Find any book or magazine and bring it back to the computer
15. Touch your hair brush or comb
16. Find a roll of tape and bring it back to the computer
17. Touch a CD, radio, or MP3 player
18. Touch a clock

Remember to put everything back when you are finished!
