In this powerful episode of In The Arena, co-hosts Jared Miguez and Lauren Navarre sit down with Kristen Simpson, the founder of the Living for Burke Foundation, to discuss her mission to save lives in honor of her late nephew, Burke. 🕊️

After losing Burke to an undiagnosed heart condition, Kristen founded the organization to raise awareness about the importance of CPR and AED training in schools and youth sports. She shares the heartwarming story of a young boy who saved his nephew’s life using CPR skills learned in school, emphasizing the life-saving power of accessible education.

Kristen also discusses the Burke Cobb Act, which mandates CPR training for high school students in Louisiana, and how the Living for Burke Foundation is working tirelessly to offer heart screenings for young athletes across the state. With partnerships like QT Medical, the foundation is bringing heart screenings and training kits to more schools, especially in remote areas. Kristen passionately advocates for parents to screen their teens, particularly those involved in sports, ensuring they are heart-safe and reducing the risk of sudden cardiac events.

Kristen’s journey of resilience and advocacy is nothing short of inspiring. Tune in to learn more about how the Living for Burke Foundation is making a difference in schools and communities throughout Louisiana.
