"My father got laid off from his job."

Going through a parent’s lay-off is a rough experience, but strangely rewarding. It makes one realize what is important in life. It made me look at the big picture, look at those around me.

Tennessee Teen Athlete Is American Heart Association's 2024 National Teen of Impact

Sixteen-year-old Aniston Barnette of Bristol, Tennessee, is a student-athlete and the American Heart Association’s 2024 National Teen of Impact Winner. Barnette got involved with the American Heart Association because she had family members who had suffered and died from heart disease. She earned a CPR certification, raised funds for heart disease research and education, and led Hands-Only CPR activities in her community.

Now, Barnette plans to use her Teen of Impact platform to raise awareness about cardiac arrest, the leading cause of death for student-athletes. "Embracing this opportunity was a natural choice," Barnette said. “I look forward to advocating for CPR education and access to AEDs [automated external defibrillators] in schools to ensure the next generation—my peers—become part of a Nation of Lifesavers and know what to do in the event of a cardiac emergency.”
