Start the year by protecting the people closest to you.

In September 2025, former South Carolina quarterback Connor Shaw collapsed from sudden cardiac arrest while coaching his son’s football game. No symptoms. No warning signs.

Sudden cardiac arrest happens fast, and only 7 percent of people survive it.

Connor did survive because CPR began immediately and an AED reached him within minutes.

“Everyone deserves the same chance of survival that I had.”
– Connor Shaw

HRTHUDL is working to make the Upstate safer by putting AEDs where they will save lives: in local police cruisers, at parks and rec fields, in gyms and schools, and in the places your family shows up every week.

These are the same officers standing at the intersections of every RunGSP race.
When their vehicles carry AEDs, lifesaving equipment is already on-site, right where you run.

This is why your donation matters.

Your support:

• Expands CPR training.
• Increases AED access.
• Protects runners, families, and neighbors across the Upstate.

And one day, the life saved could be someone you love — or even your own.
