Monica McBride-Debbs's 13-year-old son collapsed on the football practice field at Crowley ISD's Summer Brook Middle School.
"There are so many children that are out there playing football and I really think now is the time," she said.
It's part of her mission since 2018, when her 13-year-old son Kyrell McBride-Johnson suddenly collapsed on the football practice field at Crowley ISD's Summer Brook Middle School."In my son's case it was a clean bill of health until after the fact. It can be missed," McBride-Debbs said. Through her non-profit organization McBride-Debbs raises money to buy the AED devices, then works to identify programs to donate them to and provide training.Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin awake, asked who won Bills-Bengals game, doctors say
