Together We Can Make the Save!
Protecting young lives from sudden cardiac arrest through early prevention, education, and lifesaving readiness
Our Story
Andrew’s Assist is a 501(c)(3) established to honor the life and legacy of Andrew Fulcer who died suddenly and unexpectedly after suffering a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) in his sleep the morning of May 19, 2022. We had no idea Andrew was at risk of sudden cardiac arrest. In an instant and without warning, our world was completely shattered and will never be the same. We miss him each and every day!
Since that time, we have learned that SCA is preventable and is not as rare among young people as many may believe. In fact, one child dies every hour of every day from an undetected heart defect. SCA is the #1 killer of student athletes in the USA, the #2 medical cause of death in youth under 25 and is the leading cause of death on school campuses nationwide.
Our loss has changed our lives forever.
Andrew was a bright light and inspiration to so many people. His story and legacy have become our mission.
Today, Andrew’s Assist works to ensure no other family endures the pain of losing a child to a preventable cardiac event.
Our silent vow to Andrew is to ensure we carry out positive impacts to the world on his behalf so that his life and death forever matter.
