Chatham, N.J.--The Fourth Annual Walk With Heart fundraiser, in memory of a Chatham teen who died of sudden cardiac arrest, is scheduled for Sunday, May 16, at The Pingry School in Martinsville. The walk benefits the John Taylor Babbitt Foundation, which works to prevent sudden cardiac death. The Walk With Heart is sponsored by the JTB Foundation and is organized by students in The Pingry School's JTB Club.

Registration begins at 10 a.m. and the walk starts at 10:30 a.m. The Pingry School is reached from Exit 33 on Route 78. For more information visit www.jtbfoundation.org. All participants will receive an event T-shirt as well as complimentary food and beverages.
Music, a raffle, and prizes are planned, and representatives from Atlantic Health Systems will be demonstrating the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs).

The foundation is named in memory of John Babbitt, who was 16 years old and a junior at Pingry when he passed away due to sudden cardiac arrest during a recreational basketball game. Current foundation initiatives include supporting defibrillator and good Samaritan legislation, raising awareness on the prevalence of sudden cardiac death, and working to increase defibrillator availability on local playing fields.
