Damar Hamlin is celebrating after a heart health bill that he advocated for was signed into law this week by President Joe Biden.

Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest during a game against the Bengals in 2023, and his life was narrowly saved by immediate CPR and defibrillation.

And now, the The Cardiomyopathy Health Education, Awareness, and Research, and AED Training in the Schools Act of 2024 (HEARTS Act), will help put defibrillators in schools and increase access to CPR training.

Hamlin worked on the bill with New York Senator Chuck Schumer, while the NFL’s Smart Hearts Coalition also helped the initiative.

‘It’s super dope, man. Shoutout to Senator Schumer. Shoutout to the Smart Hearts Coalition. Shoutout to the American Heart Association and to my Chasing M’s foundation,’ Hamlin told ESPN.

‘We all came together to make some legacy off the field. I always wanted to, in my life, leave a legacy on the field, but to have a legacy and have meaning and purpose off the field.’
