Once again, a portion of the Providence Bridge Pedal proceeds will boost Providence Heart and Vascular Institute’s efforts to save the lives of people suffering cardiac arrest. The funds are used to purchase automated external defibrillators (AEDs) for community organizations in need such as schools, churches and other gathering places. An AED is a portable device used to restore normal heart rhythm to people experiencing cardiac arrest. Last year AEDs were donated to St. Elizabeth Church, Philadelphia Church, Valley Catholic School, Grace Lutheran Church and Holy Cross Catholic Church.
