Our Why

Kristin Maekawa Claudi

    The Foundation was established in memory of Kristin Maekawa Claudi, a 28-year-old Oʻahu schoolteacher who suffered a sudden cardiac arrest during a meeting. 911 was activated, the school did not have an AED at the time and unfortunately Kristin did not survive. Her mom knew that if Kristin had collapsed at home, she would not have been able to save her since she did not know CPR. Kristin's story continues to inspire our mission to ensure that more people survive sudden cardiac arrest through education, awareness, and preparedness.
