And I mean that in the best sort of way. I don't have official figures but a WAG would be that more than 1000 people received CPR training at the event - that's a whole lot of Actars. It was a cold (-3) morning but we had a whole mess of warm hearts show up. It also ended up being quite a party as folks stuck around after class to celebrate in the local saloons. I know I had fun with my students and look forward to seeing them again next year when they come back to recertify.

If you missed the event this year, the American Red Cross of Greater Chicago repeats it every year during February (Heart Month - go figure) or you can get trained through our regular programs almost anytime. If you're in the US and don't know how to get in touch with your local Red Cross chapter, you can visit the homepage of the American Red Cross and use their locator.
