Let's start with the sad news first. Namesake Frank was only 42 years old when he suffered a major cardiac event at a local park where he was playing soccer -- and he passed.
Now the good news. Frank's friends dealt with that loss by turning "tragedy to triumph" and forming an organization whose purpose is to raise funds to buy Automatic External Defibrillators to donate to public places in hopes of saving the lives of people in the future who might be able to be revived after experiencing something similar.
Recently, they featured the 50th such contribution to an eating establishment in Pompano Beach (the Coral Springs branch of which we reviewed in our sister blog [https://50tastesofflorida.blogspot.com/search?q=bru]), and we're hoping they continue their mission and cover the area with AEDs everywhere (selfishly, that might just be because of all the bacon grease running through *my* veins).
Kudos to Frankie's Foundation! May you soon be celebrating your100th AED!!
