NEWSTEAD, N.Y. — A New York mother held a flash mob on Sunday to teach people hands-only CPR after losing her daughter five years ago during soccer practice.
Annette Adamczak said there were no AED’s on the field because it was practice and not a game, WIVB.com reports. CPR was performed on her daughter Emily eight minutes after she collapsed, but the 14-year-old died.
Adamczak hopes the flash mob encourages N.Y. Gov. Andrew Cuomo to sign the ‘CPR in Schools’ bill, which would require middle and high school students to learn hands-only CPR.
