Daughter Saves Mother With CPR Thanks to School Program

A Californian woman’s life has been saved thanks to her daughter and a high school program. Lori Dolan, of Sunnyvale,  was watching a 49ers game with her family when she suddenly went into cardiac arrest. Her seventeen-year old daughter, Lindsay, sprang into action and immediately began CPR. Joey Gonzales, their neighbor, also assisted in compressions — it was the first time the pair had ever performed CPR.

Lindsay and Joey saved Lori’s life, providing her brain oxygen until paramedics arrived on the scene. Doctors praised the two’s heroic actions. Amazingly, Lindsay’s knowledge of CPR is because of Fremont High School. The school started a program in 2008 that required all incoming freshmen to learn CPR. All students were provided with a kit, which included a DVD and a practice mannequin. The project was the brainchild of Sunnyvale Public Safety Department Deputy Chief Steve Drewniany, and was funded with a two-year grant given by a local foundation.

This remarkable story has proved that no matter the amount of money and time spent, if it can save a life, it’s all worth it.

My husband and I hired Precious Hearts to come teach us CPR in our home and we had a WONDERFUL experience! Grace is a fantastic teacher and we learned so much. She had all the proper equipment for us to get lots of practice, she gave lots of real-world examples, and overall she made the process really fun and positive. Our nanny came for the 2nd half of the class and she reviewed the CPR and choking rescue procedures with her as well. I sleep better at night knowing that we received great training and I would HIGHLY recommend Precious Hearts for anyone considering CPR training. Thank you Precious Hearts Team!
