Jacob Wright - Stories of Survival

Jacob Wright, age 16, was attending summer police academy camp for youth when he suffered a sudden cardiac arrest during a 1.5 mile run. Two police officers were nearby and provided CPR until the fire department arrived and gave him several shocks with the AED. After rehabilitation and a month long stay in Pediatric Intensive Care, Jacob is back home.

FOR PARENTS OF A CHILD WHO HAS SURVIVED SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST OR IS LIVING WITH A HEART CONDITION

Though surviving Sudden Cardiac Arrest or living with a heart condition is an outcome to celebrate, many youth and their families are overwhelmed by the trauma of the experience and appreciate the opportunity to connect with others who share this unique perspective. We invite you to reach out to Parent Heart Watch for support or to share your story.
