Mayor Kelly, thank you for your letter, pointing out "the Importance of CPR and AED."  Several weeks ago on March 8th, the Nick of Time Foundation screened 293 students and young adults at Kentwood High School for heart problems and taught all of them CPR and how to use an AED.  In addition, the Lion Heart Heroes Foundation donated a portable AED and backpack that can be taken to athletic events to the JROTC unit at Kentwood.  Working together to raise awareness and make AEDs more readily available will go a long way toward eliminating Sudden Cardiac Death from our community.  Thank you again.
