Today the Pepsi Center wasn't all about the Nuggets. It was an opportunity to help save lives. The American Heart Association held a Family and Friends CPR mass training. We had almost 400 people receive training that could potentially save a life. We were trying to break the record of 480. The important thing was that all these people could one day make a difference.
Tom and Erin were hosting a booth to write thank you notes to Senator Nancy Spence and Rep. Dianne Primavera for sponsoring the AED bill that recently passed the Colorado Legislature. This bill will protect business and institutions from civil liability. This will mean a greater number of AED's available and more lives saved.
Knowing your numbers is an important part of protecting your heart. I had my blood pressure checked by Dr. Jeff Bushnell of On Point Urgent Care. You can find out more information at On Point .
These wonderful Doctors donated their time to take event participant's blood pressure. They are (L-R) Dr. Paul Norton, Dr. Jeff Bushness, both from On Point Urgent Care and Dr. John Torres from Premier Urgent Care. His web site is Premier .
Of course all the volunteers are wonderful. I had so much fun working with Jeff and Sarah. Both had different reasons for volunteering, but both found the experience rewarding. If you would like to volunteer for the American Heart Association, go to Heart.org .
