Mission: On July 14, 2004, our beautiful daughter Sarah Elizabeth Friend set off to NRH20 Water Park and never returned home. She was 12 years old, three weeks sort of her 13th birthday, with so much to live for. Sarah collapsed climbing the stairs of a water coaster and was not resuscitated. We were and are devastated by this tragedy. In the dark hours that followed, we were informed of the cause of her untimely death; Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) - a thickening of the heart muscle. We learned that 14,000 children die each hear from sudden cardiac arrest and we want to prevent it.
