Be ready when it matters most. Immediate CPR can double or triple the odds of surviving a cardiac arrest. Hands-Only CPR has just two simple steps you can learn right now:

If you see a teen or adult collapse, call 911, then push hard and fast in the center of the chest until help can arrive.

It started as a normal night in Lancaster, New York.

Then just after midnight, the family dogs wouldn’t stop barking.

That’s what alerted 15-year-old Anthony Killinger that something was wrong.

Within seconds, his mom rushed upstairs, fearing the worst. At the bottom of the stairs was Anthony’s stepfather, Mike Reese, unresponsive and barely making any sound.

Anthony didn’t freeze.

He called 911, put the phone on speaker, and followed instructions while starting CPR immediately.

For eight minutes, he kept going.

Checking for a pulse. Losing it. Starting again. Staying locked in while waiting for emergency crews to arrive.

Then, it happened.

Mike started breathing again.

Doctors later confirmed that Anthony’s actions saved his life. In cases like this, survival rates are extremely low without immediate intervention, and even lower without lasting complications.

Mike was taken to the hospital, treated, and discharged just days later with a defibrillator implant.

Anthony had only learned CPR in school the year before.

A lesson.
A skill.
One moment where it all mattered.

And when that moment came, he didn’t hesitate.
