Jill you are an inspiration to all. Keep up the wonderful work that you do. I have forwarded this to all I know in a few different states to spread the word! As we speak, the entire Virginia Beach school system is getting your message! Always sending my love for your family. |

I want to tell you how deeply sorry I am for your lose. I just read about this on CNN, it brought me to tears. I have a 7 year old daughter that plays little league and your story got me to think that wee need to have a life saving device on the field. We are from a very small town that only has 3 little fields to play on. And we really need to think about getting one of these on the field. I am going to speak to the President of our Little League (that so happens to be my uncle) and bring his awareness to this need. You never know when you will need one of these. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. I will definetly spread the word about your foundation. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. |

I want to commend you on your hard work in saving lives. Your son, Robbie, is a beautiful boy. His spirit lives on through your dedication in preventing tragedies to others, especially children. Best wishes to your foundation's future endeavors. |

My deepest sympathies.
As someone knowledgable in this field, I would like to add the following.
In line with the chain of survival; where ever you place an AED, there should be a structured mandatory program in place where EVERYONE (teachers, age-appropriate students, janitors, parents etc) attends. They learn and refresh basis CPR skills, and you can structure a system like the Seattle model - on a smaller scale. In Seattle upward of 45% of the population, including school-aged kids, have had 1 or more CPR classes (including kids, age-appropriate).
It's a way of raising awareness, informing the community, demystifying AEDs, and extending and solidifying your terrific program.
RC optional programs are great, but not enough.
It all comes bacck to $$. |

Thank you sharing your story. I am on the board of our little league and we have been discussing trying to purchase these. They are quite expensive we would need at least 2 for our main fields. If you have any idea how we can get one at a discounted rate please contact me. Our league has roughly 600 players. Our web site is sheltonnational.org if you need contact info |

I am so sorry for the loss of your precious son. My son David Lee died at the age of 8 (he would have celebrated his 9th birthday 2 weeks after his accident) when he was struck in the chest with a standard hard baseball. If an AED had been available, he might have lived. Because of his accident, the recreation department in our town changed several aspects of the youth baseball program. They now use a low impact ball, which looks and feels like a regular hardball, but has a little bit of give to it. They also no longer allow kids under 12 in the on deck circle. Please accept my deepest condolences. |

I read your story on CNN.com today and made it the subject of my Opinionated News blog. The $5 I earned from the blog has been donated through your paypal account system. Thank you for everything you're doing to try to stop another parent from feeling the pain you feel. |

I do not have any children yet, but I have read Robbie's story on CNN today. Jill I think that you and your husband are incredibly strong people to do what you are doing today. I think what you are doing is a great thing. |
