Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin kicked off his CPR Tour in Buffalo on Saturday, an event that he announced will also feature a stop in Hamlin’s home city of Pittsburgh, according to Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com.
During yesterday’s event at Highmark Stadium, Hamlin donated 50 AEDs to Youth Football teams in the Buffalo area. The CPR Tour is the first program of Hamlin’s Chasing M’s Foundation.
Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest on the field during a January 2 matchup on Monday Night Football against the Cincinnati Bengals. He was saved on the field due to the use of CPR and now he’s looking to give kids the ability to have lifesaving care available at their games and practices.
