500 More Young Hearts to be Screened: April 14th

Five hundred more hearts are registered to be screened in Downingtown this April! This time, we're focusing on the high school athletes at DHS West, DHS East, and Bishop Shanahan High School. Most youth who have a Sudden Cardiac Arrest event are teens and young adults living with undetected structural and rhythmic abnormalities that present during athletic activity. Thank you, Simon's Fund and A.I. DuPont cardiologists, for joining us again to provide this opportunity! If you'd like to see more screenings take place in our area, support the 5K for Aidan J. Run/Walk event (June 9, 2012). While we rely on the generosity of the medical personnel involved, each screening event costs Simon's Fund anywhere from $2,500 to $12,000. Run/walk for kids' hearts!

  1. You guys are doing awesome and making such a difference! Can't wait for this year's run - I plan on taking first place in the 37 yr old males with the initials STK division.
