AED Donation to local Rugby Club

According to the American Heart Association, there are more than 350,000 Americans who suffer out of hospital cardiac arrests with the majority of them happening at home or in a public place. Currently, only around 10% of people survive. Studies show that the immediate use of an AED combined with CPR can increase the likelihood of survival by 75% or more; however, all too often, AEDs are not publicly accessible.

Thanks to Kara Baker, who donated an AED in 2023 to the Valor Christian High School Boys Rugby Club, these athletes and their families can have peace of mind knowing that this life-saving device is on hand in the event of a cardiac emergency.
