 Keeping Alive: Youth Living Actively

 

On March 29, 2006, Kayla Stanford died suddenly--completely unexpectedly.  She had just finished track practice and complained that she wasn't feeling well.  She went to the girl's bathroom and was found sometime later, collapsed in the hallway.  Kayla died from sudden cardiac arrest.



 

 Our Mission

 

Our goal is to convince every school district in the United States that each of their schools should have an AED (automated external defibrillator); to have their teachers, coaches and other personnel trained in CPR and the proper use of the AED; and to assist in the purchase of the AEDs for targeted areas via fundraisers, grants and individual gifts.
