BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – The Brevard County nonprofit organization Who We Play For is doing its part one heart screening at a time, helping save lives like that of now 15-year-old Gavin Idone of Cocoa Beach.
Lena Idone described the moment last year when her teenage son, a health surfer, was diagnosed with a heart condition.
“It can lead to sudden cardiac arrest, we’ve learned. So, yeah, very scary,” Lena Idone said.
