Tony Ayala

the team at her facility ran in with the crash car with the expectation of saving the patient's life and realized that Sherry, the physician was on the ground.

And in that moment, they saved her life.

And she's been saved multiple times from, uh,

from an ad use from the external uh defibrillation and or internal defibrillation now and she was connected with us through a friend's mother who said you need to meet sherry she's the perfect person for you if you're working with the aeds in the area and it just works out we've been presenting i've had the opportunity to be in front of the kiwanis club of lacrosse the uh the uh

a couple other service-focused community organizations.

And I give a presentation and I explain what we're talking about today.

And every person that I interact with, I think in my head, it's like, you're the person that's going to make this bigger.

You're the person that's going to tell one other person and make this story more impactful.

And so I think you just got to know

that anyone, especially in a small community, anyone is the person that can really change it for you.

And don't be afraid to speak up.

I send a lot of one-way emails and I hope that a lot of them end up in spam folders and they don't respond to me because of that.

But I imagine there's a lot of people who are like, who is this Tony from Bubba's Fund?

badgering me about like getting on the news, getting on air, getting a report about the story, getting an article written to a magazine.

And every opportunity that we have a touch point with a potential community member is an opportunity to grow.

We had an event two weeks ago and we got a billboard, one of those big gigantic digital billboard signs.

And it was, I was driving in the car with my daughter who's five and I was like, Elliot,

Take a look, honey.

You're going to see it.

Ready?
