Bills S Damar Hamlin throws ceremonial pitch for Pittsburgh Pirates

Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin is a born-and-raised Yinzer, and his dedication to the city that helped shape his earliest years remains a priority for Hamlin as an adult.

Hamlin recently announced a multi-city tour through his Chasing M’s Foundation Charitable Fund that will take him on the road this summer in an effort to provide CPR training to benefit youth sports and community groups. The pursuit to provide CPR training and the distribution of life-saving AEDs was of course borne out of Hamlin’s own personal on-field battle with cardiac arrest from commotio cordis, and his miraculous recovery thanks to the key administration of CPR by Bills assistant athletic trainer Denny Kellington and the team’s ability to quickly respond to an emergency that necessitated the use of an AED.
