Please help me save lives with the American Heart Association! I’m participating in my school’s Kids Heart Challenge and raising funds to help everyone have healthy hearts. I’m also learning things like how to keep my own heart, brain and lungs strong, how to save a life with Hands-Only CPR, the warning signs of a stroke and ways to de-stress. I’m really excited and hope you will help me save lives by donating! If you help Mr. Emge raise $250, the Primary Center will receive an extra $500.00 to use on PE equipment!
