MYTHS can cost lives.

One of the biggest barriers to using an AED in an emergency is uncertainty. Many people worry they'll do something wrong, but the reality is that AEDs are designed to help everyday people save lives.

The more we understand CPR and AEDs, the more confident we'll be when seconds matter most.

Learning the facts today could help you save a life tomorrow.

Lion Heart Heroes joins the Indiana National Guard, the Indianapolis Fire Department, and the Thomas family in mourning the loss of Sgt. Nathaniel J. Thomas, who passed away unexpectedly on June 11 while on orders at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

Sgt. Thomas served his country as an infantryman in the Indiana National Guard and his community as a firefighter with the Indianapolis Fire Department.

At this time, the cause of death remains under investigation.

As we honor Sgt. Thomas's service and sacrifice, we are reminded of the importance of understanding and preventing sudden deaths among military members, first responders, and other physically active populations.

Our thoughts are with the Thomas family, his fellow soldiers, his firefighting brothers and sisters, and all those impacted by this tragic loss.

This is our medical director, Amy Thompson, explaining Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) and how it affects athletes and active members of the military!

If you see someone collapse, assume HEART. CALL. PUSH. SHOCK.
CALL 911.
PUSH and perform CPR
SHOCK with an AED!

Action needs to be taken within the first 3 minutes! Whether you are playing a sport, running a marathon, or in military bootcamp, you should be aware of the dangers of SCA during activity!

Here's another video our team made while in Washington, DC, this spring!

As we are so excited about the House approving our language, we are still anxiously awaiting word from the Senate this summer! Our founder, Laurie Finlayson, is a force like no other, and she is changing the world one mission at a time!

Today, we celebrate a truly life-saving victory!

Congratulations to Rachel Moyer and the Greg Moyer Foundation on the passage of Greg Moyer’s Law in Pennsylvania: legislation that will require AEDs to be present at all PIAA (Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association)-sanctioned athletic events and practices, along with emergency cardiac response plans in schools.

For more than two decades since the heartbreaking loss of Greg, Rachel has turned unimaginable grief into purpose, advocacy, and action. Through tireless determination and a love for other families, she has worked to ensure that no parent experiences the same preventable tragedy.

Rachel and the Gregory W. Moyer Defibrillator Fund have donated hundreds of AEDs to schools across Pennsylvania, helping save lives and protect young athletes throughout our communities. And today, that perseverance has become law.

This achievement is more than legislation. It is Greg’s legacy living on through every life that may now be saved. Thank you, Rachel, for all of your work! We love you!

Happy Mother's Day to the incredible Gold Star Mothers whose love, strength, and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Behind every fallen service member is a mother who carries their memory forward with unwavering courage. On this Mother’s Day, we hold space for both the pride and the grief, and we thank these mothers for the lives they raised, the love they continue to give, and the legacy their children leave behind.

Happy Mother's Day!
