A Brick Wall Stood Between Life and Death: Kara’s Mission to Save LivesKara BakerOct 110 min readwww.youtube.comA Brick Wall Stood Between Life and Death: Kara’s Mission to Save LivesWhen Kara Baker lost her dad to sudden cardiac arrest while watching her daughter play soccer, her world changed forever. Her dad needed an AED (automated external defibrillator) — but because it was a Saturday, the school was locked, and a brick wall stood in the way of possibly saving his life. 💔 Determined that no other family should face the same heartbreak, Kara turned tragedy into purpose. She began leading a movement to make AEDs accessible to everyone — 24/7. Through Kara’s vision and Advent Health’s generous support, outdoor AEDs are now being placed at schools, transforming them into community hubs for safety and readiness. Each school field equipped with an AED means lives can be saved — not just students, but parents, coaches, and neighbours too. Watch Kara’s inspiring story and see how her mission, with the help of Advent Health and Action First Aid, is building Heart Safe Communities across the region.
