Sudden cardiac arrest is what happens when the heart stops beating suddenly and unexpectedly. If the heart is not restarted, then the person dies. Seemingly out of nowhere, the heart stops pumping blood and the person collapses. Typically thought of as an "adult thing", sudden cardiac arrest does not discriminate. The American Academy of Pediatrics estimates that 2,000 children die every year from sudden cardiac arrest and it is the leading cause of death of student athletes.
CPR and an AED are crucial to increase the chance of survival. Our goal is to distribute more AEDs into our community as well as educate everyone in how to properly administer CPR.
100% of all donations will be used toward reaching that goal.
Thank you for your support!
