Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month

10/9/2019

2 Comments

 
October is also Anthony's birth month!
October 6, 2019, Anthony would have been 40, but…
Picture
his life was snuffed out due to undiagnosed heart disease or HCM - Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy,
 
Why?  Because 19 years ago there was little being done to prevent Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA)! There was no “Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month”
 
But, his untimely death launched the rise of the foundation that bears his name and his legacy

Today, 19 years later, not a day goes by that I don't still miss my son. And 19 years later
 
nearly 1 million hearts have been screened with over 45,000 possible lives saved through the teams that have been trained by the program built in his honor.

The lives we have impacted, the lives we have saved are in a very large part due to our loyal supporters like YOU:  DONORS, VOLUNTEERS and RECIPIENTS of the ABF heart screenings that gave YOU peace of mind that YOU are “heart healthy.”
 
Today, 19 years later, we face new, crucial challenges.  ABF MUST replace worn out sonogram machines, at $15,000 each!  How will we do this?  We hope through YOUR vigorous generosity as YOU realize all the vital work we have done and what we need to do in 2020 and beyond.  Our goal, simply stated is to continue to “screen more hearts and save more lives”. But we can’t do this without YOU! Help us get new sonogram machines! PLEASE make a heart-felt donation of $40 in Anthony’s honor, for what would have been his 40thbirthday.  YOUR timely donation will make a pivotal difference at this financial crossroad and have a lasting impact, hopefully for decades to come. 
 
Thank you, in advance!
 
From my heart to yours,
 
Sharon
Anthony’s Mom
