A couple of months ago, I called on area schools to find a way to purchase Automated External Defibrillators for emergency use. These machines can be used to save lives when every second matters. One was used this spring at Cardinal Gibbons School to save the life of a lacrosse player. A local Charlotte doctor from OrthoCarolina was involved in the life saving.
I have found the perfect way to purchase these machines and it will not cost the schools a single penny. A recent report by the News and Observer out of Raleigh, NC revealed that the North Carolina High School Athletic Association had built up a very nice reserve of money (18 million dollars)

It's time to spend a couple hundred thousand dollars and guarantee that every high school in the state has an AED and the training needed to use it. Summer is here, the kids are out of school for two more months, spend the money and make this happen by August 15th. Please spare me any excuses NCHSAA, I don't want to hear about red tape, I want to see action
