Damar Hamlin is kickstarting a campaign to spread CPR awareness and training following his on-field medical scare earlier this month … teaming up with the American Heart Association to create the “3 For Heart” challenge.
The Buffalo Bills safety announced the move in an Instagram video … saying, “Once again, I want to thank everybody for their love and support over these past few weeks.”
“As you know, CPR saved my life earlier this year on the field, and CPR could easily save your life or someone you love.”

To help the raise awareness for the procedure, Hamlin and the AHA came up with the social media campaign … which includes three steps: learn hands-only CPR, donate to the AHA to fund CPR awareness and education, and challenge three people to do the same.
Hamlin started the movement by calling out Tom Brady, LeBron James and Michelle Obama to get involved.
As we previously reported, the medical staffers who immediately took action and performed CPR on Hamlin during Monday Night Football were credited with saving his life after suffering cardiac arrest on the field on Jan. 2.
Hamlin has been on the road to recovery ever since … and continues to improve by the day.
