SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST AFFECTS 23,000 CHILDREN IN THE US EACH YEAR

Sudden cardiac arrest is the #1 killer of student athletes

#1 cause of death on school campuses nationwide

1 in 300 youth at risk for an undetected heart condition

​
One child dies every hour of every day from sudden cardiac arrest.  The summer of 2016, on a balmy Tuesday evening after a camp basketball game, his teammates’ triumphant cheers still ringing in his ears, that child was Michael.

​It could be your child’s life tomorrow.  Get your children screened.  Today.

​DOES YOUR CHILD HAVE A HEART CONDITION?
​
​Before you answer “no” – are you 100% certain?

​We’ve been sponsoring heart screenings since 2017 to help detect undiagnosed heart conditions that put children at risk for SCA. 

So far, we've helped screen over 16,000 youth and young adults. 

Screening days can be life-saving days for some families.

AED INSTALLATIONS

Another way that just1mike is helping to battle sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is to install AEDs (automated external defibrillators) in public schools, parks, and outdoor locations.  An AED is the only way to restart the heart of someone in SCA, outside of a hospital.  

The survival rate of SCA decreases by 10% for each minute that passes without intervention.  

Just1Mike has donated over 35 AEDs in various locations since 2020.  Your donations help bring AEDs to where we live and play.  
​

More Information

It’s our mission to educate families on the critical risk of undetected heart conditions and the need for AEDs
everywhere … where we work, live and play.

We founded just1mike to honor Michael’s memory by saving your child’s life. 

There has been too much suffering for one more family to face this often avoidable tragedy.

EKG testing can detect up to 85% of hidden heart defects, but if there’s no test, there’s no result, and no knowledge.

Just1mike.org is a 501(c)3 non-profit, all volunteer-run organization.
