Please join us and help raise awareness about sudden cardiac arrest and the tools available to identify and treat irregular heartbeat.
My 28-year-old son David passed away suddenly and unexpectedly from an SCA (Sudden Cardiac Arrest) On October 19, 2019. Dave was my oldest of two sons and lived with his brother Mike in a townhome he purchased in Dewey Beach. He was a graduate of UD, a construction manager with CBG, and a friend to literally hundreds of people throughout Delaware. Dave lived life to the fullest! On his Halloween birthdays, Dave re-created Will Ferrell characters keeping friends amused. He loved 'muscle cars', the beach, crabbing and fishing, and was very good at painting, sculpting, and drawing. He was kind and generous, had compassion for others challenges and was a loyal friend. He is missed by many.
Dave's friends and family are dedicated to raising awareness about this silent killer. 200,000 to 300,000 people die each year in the US due to SCA. Without immediate intervention (CPR and or AED shock) death is eminent. September 30th, 2023 is our 3rd annual Dave's Dewey Dash; a Races2Run 5K Walk/Run starting and ending at the Rusty Rudder in Dewey Beach.
Thank you to The Rudder for hosting once again! The 5K will include food, drinks, awards, giveaways and of course race T-shirts for all participants and volunteers. We will be on hand teaching hands-only CPR!
September 29th, 2023, join us for the Ashby-Huff Open, hosted by Delaware Golf Events, an 18-hole tournament in Magnolia Delaware at Jonathon's Landing Golf Course. We are grateful and excited about the potential!
This year, we've teamed up with Simon's Heart, a 501c3 organization dedicated to a future in which communities do not lose loved ones to sudden cardiac arrest.
All donations will be 100% tax deductible.
100% of proceeds will be used to purchase AED machines and associated training for Dewey lifeguards and local businesses.
Whether you are a runner, golfer, or spectator, please join us in our efforts to spread the word about undiagnosed cardiac arrhythmia. We'd love to have you as a virtual runner, as a donor, or sponsor. All are welcome!
Deepest thanks,
Laura Ashby | Dave's Mom
