The Luckiest Unlucky Day of My Life

Posted April 5th, 2008 by SCAFoundation

Brett Daniel, Seattle, WA – 33 at the time of event (2007)

On August 18th, 2007, while jogging with my wife and one-year-old son, I collapsed from sudden cardiac arrest. Like many survivors, I am only here to tell the story because it was the luckiest unlucky day of my 33 years of life.

On a crystal-clear Seattle morning, my wife and I decided to go for a weekend run. Eight minutes into the run, we decided to stop, stretch and enjoy the views of the Puget Sound and surrounding mountains.
