Living life under 130 beats per minute

01-Oct-2021
Studies show that the rate of survival from sudden cardiac arrest decreases by 10% every minute without intervention.1 Thankfully, Bennett鈥檚 coaches and emergency responders acted quickly to restart his heart when he collapsed at baseball practice. Watch how, miraculously, first responders restarted Bennett鈥檚 heart: three times.

I鈥檓 very thankful for all of the people that were there that day when I went down. They saved me. I鈥檓 here because of them.
