This is so true ... I lost a cousin at a young age due to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy induced cardiac arrest and he could have been saved with an AED (simply restoring a normal rhythm). If you're interested in helping to promote the availability of AEDs in the U.S., check out http://gregaed.org/. If you do nothing else, learn CPR, artificial respiration and how to use an AED. You don't know who you'll end up helping (and hopefully you'll never use it) but you might also save someone's family a lot of suffering.

Thanks!
