Sudden Cardiac Arrest is the number one cause of death for student athletes- more than any form of cancer or illness combined. A simple yet effective electrocardiogram can detect up to 89% of heart issues and takes just 5 minutes to perform.
Evan Ernst is an entrepreneur with a passion for social impact. A recent graduate from FSU, Evan works full time with Who We Play For-a non-profit he founded while in college in memory of his life-long teammate, Rafe, who collapsed and died at soccer practice due to the leading cause of death in student athletes, sudden cardiac arrest. Who We Play For’s fight is to create a national movement to protect the hearts of our youth by providing affordable heart screenings and increasing awareness. Having recently merged with another non-profit, in total Who We Play For has screened over 45,000 young hearts, identifying 60 life threatening heart conditions.
