A Letter from SCA Survivor, Mari Ann Wearda of Sheffield Iowa

Hi to all,

This morning I was driving to work when I suddenly realized that I was at the stoplight where four years ago today I narrowly escaped death. I was the victim of an SCA, and if not for the grace of God and an AED, I would not be here today.

I try not to preach (really!), but each and every one of you that I am sending this to I hold dear in my heart. I know it doesn't always happen to the other guy. I know the importance of knowing what your blood pressure and cholesterol is. I know how dangerous smoking is. I know how dangerous stress is. If you don't know these things, please find out.
