Resuscitate Your CPR Knowledge

When was the last time you considered the importance of CPR or cardiopulmonary resuscitation? Recently I heard a story about a friend of my children who attempted to save a woman’s life. The boy is twelve years old and was staying at a friend’s house when he discovered his friend’s mom passed out on the floor. He bravely attempted CPR. Although, he was unable to save his friend’s mom, he was honored for his noble attempt and we are all reminded how important it is that both young and old receive a basic training in CPR. Many fire departments provide this training for free or at a very low cost and of course, you can always get training through the Red Cross. Consider enrolling your family members today.
