On Sunday, September 18, 2022, VolunTeen will be hosting our 2nd Annual 5K to honor the life of Bailey Bullock. This event should prove to be our biggest, most impactful, and most energetic event yet! The 5k will be held at the The John Carroll School. The run kicks off with a great energetic dynamic warmup that will be sure to get your body ramped up for the day! This will be a timed shotgun race. Once back at the entrance, grab a water and some snacks as we cheer on the remaining participants. When everyone has returned we will celebrate with a group picture and announce the winners for the 5k.

VolunTeen is excited to be raising funds for Bailey’s Heart & Soul Foundation. Their mission is to bring awareness of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) to high school communities, provide education and the necessary tools to respond to life-threatening cardiac medical emergencies, and enhance those events’ outcomes. In addition, their goal is to create scholarships for student athletes graduating in 2023 (Bailey’s class) for young up-and-coming athletic students who show promise in their chosen sport.

Please consider registering for this 5K.

Thank you for your amazing generosity and let’s raise funds to keep Bailey’s memory alive.

Mission

Our mission is to bring awareness of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) to high school communities, provide education and the necessary tools to respond to life-threatening cardiac medical emergencies, and enhance those events’ outcomes.

Vision

We are commited to saving that one life that would make a difference to a mother, father, brother, sister or friend.

What Brought Us Here

Bailey died suddenly of cardiac arrest after an organized track and field event on May 12th, 2021. Bailey was an avid athlete who played football, basketball, and ran track. Bailey’s premature death motivated us to develop an organization to give knowledge to our community on how to respond to cardiac emergencies.

Our Goals

Bailey was diagnosed with Wolf Parkinson’s White Syndrome (WPW) at an early age. Our goal is to bring awareness to WPW as this syndrome can cause cardiac arrhythmias and sudden death.

Wolf Parkinson’s White Syndrome (WPW) is a condition in which an extra electrical pathway in the heart causes a rapid heartbeat. The extra electrical pathway in WPW appears between the heart’s upper and lower chambers which causes a rapid heartbeat. WPW syndrome is usually present at birth. Some common symptoms of WPW syndrome include palpitation, dizziness, shortness of breath, fatigue, anxiety, chest pain, difficulty breathing, and or fainting

Screenings

Bailey’s Heart and Soul Foundation will recommend a more in-depth pre-participation examination that encompasses techniques that will minimize the risk of missing underlying cardiac disease that could potentially be fatal if that child participates in vigorous sports activities.

Training

Our goal is to make training  available to all who are instrumental in monitoring and training these up-and-coming athletes in order to maximize their safety during these times of practice and promise.

Scholarships

Our goal is to create scholarships for young up-and-coming athletic students who show promise in their chosen sport.
