Original Message I was watching Real Sports on HBO & they did a story on athletes & sudden cardiac arrest. It's way more common than I ever thought, over 150 incidents in athletes every year! This is the average over the last 10 years.

Usually it's from trauma to the chest, but it does happen even from just dehydration. But a simple device, a ADE (automated external defibrillator) super simple to use & it saves peoples lives over 90% of the time! Truly a miracle device! Just turn it on & voice commands from the device walk you through the procedure.

This is the device that saved the Bills player Demar Hamlin. The device even decides if a electrical shock is needed!

Every HS in the US should have one! 60% have one today, it should be 100%!!

Article from 2016: In the United States, there are approximately 100 to 150 sudden cardiac deaths (SCD) during competitive sports each year.
