Mike Papale – Wallingsford, CT – 17 at the time of the event (August 24, 2006)
I have no recollection of the day that changed my life forever. I’ll only be able to tell the stories that I’ve heard. People have told me to play the Lotto because there was a one in a million chance that I would survive. Although I’ve had many experiences that I will never forget, I will never remember the day that my 17-year-old body went into cardiac arrest.
