WHO WE HELP

 An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a life-saving device used to help someone experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. Having an AED on hand during practices, games, and school events can mean the difference between life and death when a child is unresponsive, not breathing, and has no pulse. Sadly, every three days, a young athlete in the United States dies from sudden cardiac arrest.


Together with our dedicated friends, all certified in First Aid, CPR, and AED use, we have taught classes across Central Massachusetts—and most importantly, we’ve placed over 50 AEDs in schools and community organizations, helping to protect the lives of students and athletes alike:
