(Pittsburgh, PA) The American Heart Association and the Chasing M’s Foundation of McKees Rocks native and NFL football player Damar Hamlin are working to set a Guinness World Record during the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh. According to the American Heart Association, the goal is to train the most people in hands-only CPR in one hour. They hope to accomplish this by training at least 4,000 people from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. at Acrisure Stadium on Friday. The American Heart Association also stated that CPR can double or even triple a person’s chance of survival when cardiac arrest strikes. Hamlin has been giving back and saving lives since surviving his life-altering experience of suffering cardiac arrest on an NFL football field at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio when the Buffalo Bills safety was playing against the Cincinnati Bengals on January 2nd, 2023.
