Damar Hamlin – From Survivor to Advocate | At the Heart of It

Wonderful interview with an amazing person. We never know where life will take us and for Damar to only be 25 and already change the world and save lives is inspirational.

Such an inspiring young man. We are so grateful to hear his inspiring story, so grateful the NFL had such a tight emergency action plan in place, and so grateful to have another AED advocate out there.
