About us
The Peyton Walker Foundation was established in 2013 after the untimely passing of Peyton Walker, a vibrant and ambitious nineteen-year-old college student, who died of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). SCA is a sudden, abnormal, and potentially fatal heart rhythm that causes the heart to beat ineffectively or stop altogether. Survival requires immediate CPR and defibrillator treatment, with typical survival rates being less than 10%. We aim to ensure that “the beat will go on” for other young people with undetected heart issues, allowing them to grow into healthy adults. According to the American Heart Association, SCA is the leading killer of student-athletes in the United States, with one competitive athlete estimated to die suddenly every three days. Our mission is to increase awareness and survival rates of SCA through education, screenings, and training. To date, we have provided FREE heart screenings, leading to potential life-saving medical attention for some. Additionally, we host screenings, distribute AEDs in the community, and offer CPR/AED training to enhance emergency response and save lives.

Last Friday, we had an amazing time at the Carlisle Summer Fair demonstrating hands-only CPR/AED! It was a wonderful opportunity for residents to connect with local first responders, county officials, and nonprofits like ours. Every demonstration and training session brings us closer to saving lives during sudden cardiac arrests. Being prepared is essential. #CommunityEvent #CPR #AED #CarlisleSummerFair

We're proud to be part of the Smart Heart Coalition with the American Heart Association, National Football League (NFL), PA Chapter of the American College of Cardiology, Simons Heart, Greg W. Moyer Fund, and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia! Every year, over 356,000 cardiac arrests occur outside hospitals in the U.S., including over 23,000 children. To combat this, we're advocating for SB 375, sponsored by Sen. Brown. This bill mandates Cardiac Emergency Response Plans and AED availability at schools and athletic events, aiming to increase survival rates significantly. Let's pass SB 375 to safeguard our youth and ensure rapid, effective responses to cardiac emergencies. #HeartSafety #SB375

Our team had an incredible Saturday at the Harrisburg Senators game, sharing the vital work we do! More importantly, we demonstrated CPR techniques. Our amazing CPR instructor was featured on the Jumbotron, teaching the entire stadium how to perform hands-on CPR and how to use an AED. Education saves lives, and we're so grateful for our dedicated team and volunteers. Together, we're making a difference! #HeartHealth #CPRsavesLives #PeytonWalkerFoundation
