<p>Sit in and listen to my conversation with sudden cardiac arrest survivor/Founder and President of the Aliver Foundation.</p><p>A non for profit 501(c)(3) who&#39;s mission is simple:</p><p>&quot;To raise awareness and funds to install all weather AED&#39;s in outdoor recreation spaces while also providing crucial resources and educational opportunities to individuals and communities.&quot;</p><p>You see on June 25, 2021 while attending a gathering at a public park, Jill died from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). Were it not for the quick thinking of a bystander, who performed CPR until the paramedics arrived with an AED, Jill would not be here today.</p><p>Leaving the hospital with no roadmap for recovery, Jill spent late nights on Google and Facebook groups just trying to make sense of what happened. She quickly realized how few people knew CPR, how rare outdoor all-weather AEDs are in public parks, and how isolated survivors often feel. Drawing on her 20+ years in the non-profit world, she founded THE ALIVER FOUNDATION.</p><p>Today, this all-volunteer team works with survivors, first responders, and medical professionals to put climate-controlled AED&#39;s in public spaces, teach CPR, and give survivors the guidance she never had.</p><p>I very powerful story with a beautiful outcome and future.</p><p>Hope you enjoy my conversation with Jill Pall</p>
