Support Eric’s Legacy

Thousands of students, parents, coaches, educators and medical professionals have taken our free SCA prevention training.
3 state laws advancing SCA prevention, plus advocacy to make prevention a priority wherever youth congregate.
May 3 is Eric’s birthday. And not long after is July 23, marking 16 years the Paredes’ family and friends have lived without him. Fifteen years without watching him win wrestling matches. Seeing him graduate…get his first job…fall in love.
Instead, he was lost at age 15 to a heart condition no one knew he had. This beautiful boy, so full of life, who loved to dance and wanted to serve his community. But he never got the chance.
The work we do is Eric’s legacy.
We are truly grateful for your support.
Please remember Eric today, and all those needlessly lost to sudden cardiac arrest. Together we will build a new generation of life savers to protect young hearts.
