"14 year old kids die how many times a year in this country while running? She wants the school to waste resources because her kid died. Tell her to take a hike."

Yep, I know this stuff never happens, even though my daughter died at age 18 from cardiac arrest after running track and XC for 7 years and earning 12 high school letters. No signs of trouble before it happened. In fact, if you'd bother to do a search, you'd find this isn't unusual. And even if the AEDs don't help a young athlete, they'd very likely help an older fan in the gym.

Sorry for exploiting my grief here, though. Quite thoughtless of me.

I said this rarely happens. What if, what if, what if. Using your grief like a club against good people so that they feel guilty and waste resources is a despicable deed.
