HeartCharged

We took 60+ volunteers and collaborated with The Original Yellow Wiggle to make a music video about using an AED (external defibrillator). Now it's effectively and entertainingly educating people in our community trainings. We want to get it out to more school children, along with our activity book, to really unleash the next generation of life savers.
We're launching a campaign for equity because currently women and minorities are far less likely to survive a cardiac event due to a lack of needed bystander interventions.
We're constantly, and convincingly, advocating for public measures because over 50 children a day in the US alone die unnecessarily from an undiagnosed cardiac condition. We keep getting closer to making Miami-Dade the most HeartCharged community in the world.
We've created a community of support for fellow patients. We utilize meet-up's, messaging, care packages, and social media.
And we do this as survivors ourselves, two sisters with a chronic cardiac condition and implanted defibrillators. We are very grateful and certainly not ashamed. We hope that gratitude and body-positive mindset will permeate our community. We need people to realize bodies can be flawed and medical intercessions may be necessary. We need true acceptance of others, including surgery scars and bionic bulges.
Our hearts are physically large (which is why we're facing transplants and often avoid stairs though we're in our 20's). We hope your heart will be large in only the giving way and that you will help us save lives and support survivors as we work for Miami to Get HeartCharged.
