"I was a student athlete at San Jose's East Side Union High School.  One day while running on the track I collapsed and experienced a cardiac arrest.  My high school did not have an AED, but luckily there was a fire station right next to my school. The firefights heard the commotion, jumped the fenced, used an AED, and saved my life.  I am one of the lucky ones."  

Omar not only survived his sudden cardiac arrest, but he is thriving as a current UC Berkeley student.
