Buffalo Bills Safety Launches Lifesaving CPR Awareness Campaign

  • Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin launched his Chasing M's Foundation CPR Tour to distribute medical equipment and promote life-saving techniques.
  • Hamlin handed out automated external defibrillators to close to 50 youth sports and community organizations on the Bills' field at Highmark Stadium.
  • The launch event included free CPR training for more than 1,000 people, and additional stops on Hamlin's tour are planned for New York City, Pittsburgh, and Cincinnati.
  • Hamlin collapsed and was resuscitated on the field during a game six months ago, leading to an outpouring of support and donations to his charitable organization topping more than $9 million.
  • The NFL expanded its Smart Health Sports Coalition and will begin a CPR education grant later this week with $20,000 going to each NFL team for CPR education and AEDs for high school sports teams.
