As you probably know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. But did you know that it is also Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month? Sudden Cardiac Arrest, or SCA, is the leading cause of death for adults in the US, and claims nearly 10 times as many lives as breast cancer. To learn about how you can help fight SCA, talk to Public Safety students who are wearing red and white bracelets this month to show that they are Sudden Cardiac Arrest Aware. Ask Coach Lindgren about CPR certification opportunities on campus and in your community, and he'll reward you with a bracelet that shows that you too, are Sudden Cardiac Arrest Aware!
