Checking Hearts. Protecting Hearts. Saving Lives.
After the loss of 19-year-old Peyton to Sudden Cardiac Arrest in 2013, the Peyton Walker Foundation was created to help ensure no other family experiences the same tragedy. Through free heart screenings, CPR and AED training, lifesaving AED donations, and community partnerships, the Foundation works to increase awareness, improve survival, and create heart-safe communities where every heartbeat matters.

Checking Hearts. Protecting Hearts. Saving Lives.
Heart Screenings
Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is the #1 killer of student athletes in our country. Every hour, every day we lose a child to SCA. Often times, the first sign or symptom of a hidden heart issue…is sudden death. Thousands of children are walking around with serious undiagnosed heart issues.
Apply for an AED
No family should lose a loved one because an AED wasn’t nearby. We are committed to creating heart-safe communities by increasing access to lifesaving AEDs and empowering people to act with confidence during a cardiac emergency.
CPR & AED Training
Become CPR and AED certified with hands-on training designed for individuals, coaches, businesses, schools, and community organizations. Every second counts in a cardiac emergency.
