Heart Screenings Save Young Athletes
from Jacksonville News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Starting July 1st, Florida mandates heart screenings for all student-athletes to prevent sudden cardiac arrest — the leading cause of death for young athletes. Nonprofit “Who We Play For” is racing to get kids screened this summer, offering affordable ECG tests — just $20, free if needed — at community events across Northeast Florida. Inspired by the tragic story of Riley Broadhurst, who collapsed during a run at 17, the organization urges parents to act now: no symptoms mean no warning, and this quick, painless test could save lives.
