Iowan Aims for AED Placements in Ames
SCAA's Iowa Affiliate teams up with local survivor to raise money for AEDs
Back in February of this year, Erik Munn, an Ames, Iowa, businessman was shooting hoops at his local community center when all of a sudden, his heart stopped.
After he collapsed, one of the other basketball players immediately commensed CPR. Paramedics arrived on the scene minutes later to administer the AED shock that ultimately saved Munn's life.
At the time, the community center did not have an AED — Munn's brush with death changed that.
Since then, Munn has bought an AED for his business and has encouraged other Ames business owners to do the same. He has recently launched a campaign with SCAA's Iowa Affiliate, AED Access for All, to raise money to place AEDs in every Ames school.
