This program was developed by Holly Burns and Cate Barry for their Girl Scout Silver Award. The idea for this class was motivated by the girls desire to increase responsiveness to medical emergencies.

The girls would like to thank the KeepSmilin4Abbie Foundation, trainer Michelle Levenson and the Hopkinton Middle School for providing assistance and support towards the success of this program.
