Matt's Mission

My 17 year old son Matthew, a student at Kimball Union Academy (KUA), went into Cardiac Arrest on October 18, 2006, following a routine football practice.  His heart stopped.  He had no pulse.  Luckily for Matt (family and friends), Kimball Union Academy was prepared.  Our story has a happy ending.   CPR was administered almost immediately, and the school had a defibrillator out on an adjacent field which was delivered to him within minutes.  If not for the heroic acts of the trainers, nurse, and those around him - Matt would not be with us today.
