More than 23,000 children each year will experience cardiac arrest, according to the American Heart Association. Of these incidents, 40% are related to sports. Pyper Midkiff was one of those children. Last April, when she was 12, she suffered cardiac arrest during the middle of her soccer practice at a Mesa park. Pyper’s dad, Matt Midkiff, was called over to the field by Pyper’s twin sister, Emeri. By the time he arrived, another parent had begun CPR.
