I BELIEVE in one God because I have faith. He saved my life after my sudden cardiac arrest during a summer camp. He kept me alive to share this message. I BELIEVE in one Lord, Jesus Christ, who was with me in intensive care when I was fighting for my life. I BELIEVE in the Holy Spirit, who gave strength to the Scout leaders who applied CPR on me for 45 minutes, and to the person who shocked me 5 times with the AED of the Boy Scouts Camp. I BELIEVE in the Holy Spirit, who gave calm to my wife who laid hands on me. She was praying there all the time. I BELIEVE in my Church, my children, my family, my friends, and my community who prayed for my healing. Because I BELIEVE, I thank you all.

Jamboree participants attempt a record-breaking CPR and AED Course

There are so many world records that are extremely dangerous (longest distance jumped by motorcycle; deepest scuba dive) that it’s nice to see one that’s for saving lives instead of endangering them.
That was the goal behind today’s attempt at breaking the record for CPR and AED training taking place at one time. Thousands of Scouts, Scouters, and visitors took an hourlong course on CPR and the proper use of an Automated External Defibrillator, or AED.
While Scouts and Scouters counted to 30 chest compressions on their training mannequins, event organizers counted Scouts and Scouters, checking to see how close to the world record they had come.
Results weren’t yet available, but one thing is for sure: sending thousands of boys and adults home with the knowledge about how to save a life was a winning situation for everyone involved.
Before one of the day’s courses, representatives from Cardiac Science awarded four lucky troops with two free AEDs.
These troops submitted winning entries in a video contest. Entrants needed to create a short video telling why AEDs were so important. Below you’ll see representatives from two of the winning troops. The first, Jose Lepervanche, didn’t work on his troop’s video, but he shared an inspirational story. He’s a Scouter from Jacksonville, Fla., and he shared the story about how an AED saved his life.
While at a council camp, he suddenly collapsed. Scouts rushed to his side and tried to revive him after calling 911. But fortunately for Lepervanche, the camp had purchased an AED and used it to save his life. He was there to tell his story because his camp was prepared, he said.
Because the troops got two AEDs each, they can keep one and give the other to a worthy community group, such as a school, church, or other organization.

Lessons from my mended heart
On July 2007 I had a Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) while camping with our Boy Scouts Troop 182 at Woodruff Scout Reservation. I was saved by the grace of God, the prompt action of Scouts leaders who applied CPR to me and Scouts who organized themselves to remain calm. They called the camp EMS person who came with an AED, and lighted the road to our campsite with flashlights to guide the ambulance.
The full story of my SCA is published in the website of the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Association (SCAA). I am member of SCAA’s speakers bureau and the SCAA Support Community. You can also read it in my blog under Double-blessed Scoutmaster. See my SCAA Inspire Support Community discussion group
I also want to share the 2008 Annual Report of the American Heart Association (AHA). This is part of my commitment and we need your support to spread the voice about heart issues, emergency preparedness, CPR and AED training, and healthy living. Our son Eagle Scout Alejandro Lepervanche and I share the cover of the AHA annual report and the article is on pages 10 and 11 of the report (14 and 15 of the PDF file). Go to heart.org > About Us > Annual Report or follow this link.
I am speaking about these issues to promote AHA and Red Cross CPR/AED training in local churches, seminars, youth groups, colleges, and scouts. My story was featured in “Scout Signs”, a TV program of the BSA North Florida Council. I also attended the University of Scouting in Jacksonville and delivered four talks to the Emergency Prepareness, Wilderness Survival, CPR, and Youth Leadership classes.
