After years of living with a heart condition that appeared stable, Lindsay collapsed shortly after receiving devastating family news. What followed was 31 minutes of CPR, a personal AED rescue, a stroke, a three-day coma, and a long road to recovery. Despite initially being told she had only two weeks earlier experienced a sudden cardiac arrest that rescuers feared she would not survive, Lindsay lived to tell her story.
