Readers will recognize Kaitlin Forbes as the then 16-year-old cardiac arrest survivor we documented in the video below. Since then she’s appeared on the Bonnie Hunt show, in People magazine, and now, CNN.
Passing along a note from Kaitlin’s mom, Linda …
What: CNN recently contacted Kaitlin Forbes requesting to feature her on the CNN series “Breakthrough Women.” At a Heart Safe Club CPR/AED training event last month, CNN filmed various aspects of the training and conducted interviews. Community members participating in the Heart Safe Club CPR/AED training that evening included several Rhinebeck High school students.
When: The segment is scheduled to air this weekend: 12/04/09, Friday, 9am-9:30am, 2pm-2:30pm & 12/06/09, Sunday 11am-11:30am, 1pm-1:30pm
*Although, they filmed quite a bit…we don’t know how much footage will actually be aired…we DO know that every time the Heart Safe Club’s message is shared…someone will learn about the dangers of sudden cardiac arrest (particularly in youth), they will be encouraged to learn CPR and promote increased public access to automated external defibrillators (AEDs)…and hopefully they will be inspired to make a difference!
