AED Installed at Paul Walter Memorial Park

This weekend, CV Softball installed an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) at Paul Walters Memorial Park, donated to our organization by the Peyton Walker Foundation. It is located on the north side of the shed in the middle of the park, facing Field #2. In the near future, we will be installing signs at each field as a reminder of where the device is located.

For those interested, the Foundation also provides CPR/AED & First Aid Certification Training Classes. To sign up, visit www.peytonwalker.org/training.html.

The Peyton Walker Foundation was established in memory of 19 year old Peyton, whose young and vibrant life was stolen by Sudden Cardiac Arrest on November 2, 2013. Motivation to establish the Foundation came from the words that were emblazoned on the shirt Peyton was wearing on November 2nd: "What we do for ourselves dies with us... What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal." (- Albert Pines) Her shirt called her family to action... establishing the Foundation to save young lives so that other families would never know the heartache of losing a child without warning to Sudden Cardiac Arrest.

CV Softball is extremely grateful for the work of the Peyton Walker Foundation and their ability to provide our community with this life saving device. For more information on the Peyton Walker Foundation, please visit their website at www.peytonwalker.org.
