Ridgewood HS Students Perform CPR to Help Save Friend's Life

Imagine being a teenager and seeing your friend collapse while on a jog. What would you do and how would you react?

Four Ridgewood High School juniors experienced this in July when Nick Hunt suffered a cardiac arrest on the Des Plaines River Trail. Nick's friends' quick-thinking kicked-in and they performed CPR on him until paramedics arrived.

Illinois state law requires all high school students complete CPR training before graduation. This video story highlights why learning life-saving measures is SO important! Thank you to Nick, RJ, Jerome, and Frank for sharing your story.
