My name is Max
Horland and I have a possible news story for you. Ever hear of those
athletes dropping dead after playing a game with no foreboding signs?
This year I was diagnosed with ARVD/C, a congenital heart disease that
is the leading cause of sudden death in young athletes. I played sports
all my life with no foreshadows until I nearly died on October 20th from
a ventricular tachycardia. As the disease is highly underfunded, my
brother and I started a club at agoura high school coined "Heart to
Heart Foundation". Our first event/fundraiser is at the Kids Helping
Kids event on April 19th, 2014. We will be having a massive bake sale
and 5 for fighting will be at the concert later that day. Kids Helping Kids is a non-profit organization raising money for local kids in need.
