The Chasing M’s CPR Tour

In 2023, Damar launched the Chasing M’s CPR Tour, which reached thousands of people who received free, hands-only CPR training to help save lives. The tour also provided no-cost AEDs for youth sports organizations in each community.

“Because of what I experienced, I’m working to make sure kids across the country have the same access to life-saving care that I did - if they need it,” said Hamlin. “Because of the generosity of so many people around the world, I’m grateful to have this unexpected life mission and this amazing chance to give back.”

the Chasing M’s CPR Tour also went international when the Buffalo Bills played in London. CPR education training was given to fans at the NFL Experience London, and Chasing M's also distributed and provided training for AEDs to youth organizations in the UK. London is just the first of more international stops in 2024. As Damar said, “I’m so excited about the reaction people have had to my CPR Tour this year and the impact it is having. I’m inspired by them - and what we can do together.”
