July 2015 marked the sixth anniversary of the death of Eric Paredes - a 15-year-old student athlete who had a sudden cardiac arrest caused by a heart condition he didn't know he had, because heart screenings are not a regular part of youth checkups or pre-partcipation sports physicals. In Eric's name, and for all those lost to sudden cardiac arrest, the Eric Paredes Save A Life Foundation continues its mission to educate youth, parents, educators, coaches and elected officials about the incidence of SCA in youth and prevention strategies to avoid a tragedy that could be a heartbeat away.
