Run for Sarah

Run for Sarah CPR and AEDs save lives! If your loved one collapsed in front of you...
what would you do? There was no emergency plan. Run for Sarah 5K and 1Mile

July 14, 2004, Sarah Elizabeth Friend set off to NRH20 for her junior lifeguard class, but later never came home. Just three weeks shy from turning 13 years old, Sarah collapsed at the water park and was not resuscitated. She died of cardiac arrest due to an undetected heart disease, unknown to the family, called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or enlarged heart. The water park housed 2 automatic external defibrillators and lifeguards, but no one used the AED on Sarah. Sarah’s passing made apparent the serious need for proper training of personnel in public places and schools in order to recognize and respond to the treatment of emergencies including cardiac emergencies. When someone suffers a cardiac arrest and their heart goes into ventricular fibrillation, the only life-saving remedy is CPR and AED. We ask that you join our mission and help us by donating to the Sarah Friend Heart Foundation, sponsoring or participating in our annual fundraiser.
