Dover-Eyota High School hosted an event focused on keeping hearts healthy and saving lives through CPR.
(ABC 6 News) – 14-year-old Patrick Schoonover was playing hockey alongside his teammates on the Eastview High School boys hockey team when he unexpectedly suffered a cardiac arrest, leading to his death.
“Unless you’ve lost a child, you really don’t understand what a parent goes through, unless you’re one who has lost a child,” Schoonover said.
The Play for Patrick Foundation has helped almost 7,000 people receive screenings, all in an effort to keep them heart healthy.
