The decision comes after Buffalo Bills safety
Damar Hamlin required lifesaving CPR after collapsing on the
field in Cincinnati Jan. 2.
As part of the "NFL Experience" event in Phoenix, a mobile
training unit will be set up for interested visitors to receive
CPR training from experts. The American Heart Association also
has partnered with Hamlin, who has begun a social media
challenge called the #3forHeart CPR Challenge to encourage young
people to learn the technique. CPR can restart breathing and
blood circulation for those in cardiac arrest.
"Being able to deliver care in emergency situations is not just
important at sporting events, but in all walks of life," NFL
commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement Friday.
Super Bowl LVII between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia
Eagles will take place Feb. 12 in Glendale, Ariz.
