Update: Griffin Martin’s family take their story to the public

Recently, we shared a story of Griffin Martin, a young man who tragically passed away after suffering a cardiac arrest while at school.

Griffin’s family recently sat down with the CBC to talk about their son and to talk about the need for AED’s to be placed in public schools. They believe that if an AED was available at his school, it could have helped to save Griffin’s life. They have now started a campaign to raise money to buy AED’S and place them in schools to make sure that incidents like the one their family dealt with, never happen again.

Below is the CBC web story, and the CBC radio and television interviews.
