TEDDY'S HEART

By Craig Dowdle

Making our Community #CardiacSafe!

Teddy's Heart Mission

On May 4, 2022 at the age of 22 Teddy Dowdle collapsed and suffered Sudden Cardiac Arrest while playing basketball with his brother and friends. CPR was administered but there was no AED readly available. It has become the family's mission to push for wide spread access and availability of AED units, thus forming the Teddy's Heart Foundation. Our goal for this fundraiser is to place a SaveStation at Woodridge Park in Cottage Grove and a public park in Woodbury, MN.

With less than 10 minutes to save a life from Sudden Cardiac Arrest, we all need the power to take action.  Automatic External Defibrillators (or AEDs) are empowering the public to save lives - now AEDs can be found in SaveStations across the world - in our public spaces and communities - available 24/7!

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is still one of the leading causes of death and can happen to anyone, anywhere and at any time. With greater access, education and awareness about AEDs we can make a huge difference!

We had booth's at 2 basketball games in one night.  What a tremendous turnout at both events.  Thanks to everyone for the donations thus far and special thanks to all the volunteers who helped this night to be a roaring start.

This is definitely a fundraiser I can get behind! Heart conditions are scary, and AEDs are the only thing necessary for saving someone who has suffered from sudden cardiac arrest! AEDs are needed everywhere! I am so thankful for this foundation, and for all of the work put into it by the Dowdles. Teddy's legacy will always live on! ❤️❤️❤️
