You think your child or teenager is healthy. They may be living with an undetected
heart problem which could lead to
sudden death!

This is Ken’s Story:

Ken was a young man who had decided to be someone great. He knew he had to attend college to achieve his goal of being a doctor. He thought a scholarship would be possible if he would get involved in a sport. He chose football. He felt with his best efforts that he would succeed. After being cleared with a basic physical he joined a football training mini camp at school. He had a cardiac arrest and died while at practice on 6/7/00. He was 17 years old. After his death we decided to find out how many teenagers have a cardiac arrest and die from undetected heart defects. Needless to say it's just too many. In 1996 the American Heart Association reported that better cardiac prescreening for young athletes could prevent such tragedies.
