Just1mike Named after his blog, the just1mike foundation will honor the life and legacy of Michael Brindley by helping others.

Gone way too soon at age 16 to sudden cardiac arrest ,Michael was know for his bright smile and kindness to all. Michael loved to laugh, loved the world of sports but most especially loved his family and friends. He was passionate, enthusiastic, loyal never seemed to have met a stranger. His passion for sports was shared on his blog, www.just1mike.com , which he started at the age of 13 and in just three years, wrote 110 posts. His dream was to work for ESPN or the BIG10 Network one day. He was described as having an encyclopedic mind for sports statistics and was beyond passionate about his teams. He was also passionate about his friends and experience at Culver Academies Summer Camp. A member of Naval Two (Super2), Michael is described by his friends at Culver as a loyal leader who was kind to everyone. Michael would have graduated First Class in July of 2016 after completing three years of summer camp at Culver. On the fourth day of camp, Michael played in his companyโ€™s basketball game, made the winning shot and passed away after the game due to sudden cardiac arrest. Michael left a legacy at the tender age of 16 that has touched many lives. His life has truly made ours better and he will be forever loved and forever missed.

Not necessarily. Some children experience warning signs and symptoms but don't realize anything is wrong because they've always felt that way. Others have no symptoms at all.

Ask your child how they're feeling and whether they're experiencing any of the warning signs and symptoms. Know your family's heart history, and discuss any concerns with your child's healthcare provider.

People interchange these all the time. A heart attack happens when blood flow to the heart is blocked. The person experiencing this is usually awake and talking. Sudden cardiac arrest is an electrical problem. The hearts suddenly stops beating and the person collapses. Without CPR and an AED within the minutes, they wonโ€™t survive. SCA can happen to anyone, including young, healthy athletes. With over 356,000 people in the U.S., we all need to be able to recognize and respond to SCA.
