Tara was enjoying a trip to the water park with her husband, Tyler, and kids, Emerson and Declan, when she started to feel dizzy and sick. Her heart raced.

They decided to go home, but Tara wanted to stop at the restroom first. Emerson went, too, to keep an eye on her mother. Less than a minute later, Emerson was running back yelling, "Mom's on the ground."

Tyler found Tara inside a locked stall. He climbed over the top to unlock it and pulled Tara out. Her heart had stopped. She wasn't breathing.

He yelled for help. A lifeguard started to give Tara chest compressions until firefighters arrived and took over. They connected Tara to an automated external defibrillator, or AED. The third shock of the AED brought her back.

At the hospital, doctors were unable to determine what caused her heart to stop. She received an implantable cardioverter defibrillator, or ICD, that can shock the heart back into a normal rhythm.

Tara’s self-described "stubborn personality" helped her recovery, first in the hospital for more than two weeks and then for another 10 days at an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and through three months of outpatient rehab.

"I'm competitive with myself, so I decided I was going to be the best rehab student," Tara, a first-grade teacher, said. "As I tell my own students, progress is progress. You just keep plugging away."

Tara and Tyler both learned CPR and encourage others to get trained. "Just learn the moves," Tyler said.

Tara said they strive to live by the motto on the T-shirts she had made while raising money to help fight heart disease: "Enjoy every moment."

Anytime. Anywhere. Anyone.

A severe asthma attack during a cross-country race sent seventh-grader Memphis into cardiac arrest. Bystander CPR and an AED saved him.

Because everyone acted quickly when Memphis collapsed, doctors felt confident he wouldn't have any physical or mental deficits. Two weeks after his cardiac arrest, doctors cleared Memphis to resume all activities. A week later, he joined his teammates for the final race of the season – back at the same city park where his heart stopped.

Memphis' parents, Erin and Justin, have been spreading the word about learning CPR, and many of their friends and family have now been trained.

"This is what my life's work is going to be now," Erin said. "It's not just about learning CPR, but also about responding immediately. Don't wait for someone else to do it. It might be too late."

On stage with her dance studio team, Noelle felt a little off. Her balance was wonky. She felt disassociated with her body. She focused on getting the next move right.

The choreography called for the dancers to drop to the stage and lie down. When the other dancers got up, Noelle didn't. The audience assumed it was part of the dance, until a dancer cried out: "Stop the music!"
Noelle’s heart had stopped. She was in cardiac arrest at age 17.

One audience member started performing CPR while another ran to get the automated external defibrillator. It took two shocks from the AED to get her heart beating.

At the hospital, tests revealed Noelle has long QT syndrome, a rare disorder of the heart's electrical system that can cause an irregular heartbeat, along with life-threatening complications like sudden cardiac arrest. She’d had it since birth.

Noelle got an implantable cardioverter defibrillator, or ICD, to monitor her heart and correct irregular rhythms. She also started taking medication to help control her heartbeat. Her doctor worked with her to find a safe game plan to keep dancing.

"I knew I wanted dance to be in my life forever and I didn't want this to get in the way," she said.

Noelle worked her way back slowly, and was able to join her team for the last performance of her senior year.

Now she’s a full-time performer and teacher, currently in Japan, introducing kids to dance and hoping she inspires and empowers them to develop their own relationship with dance.

"Dance helped me keep going through the hardest time in my life," Noelle said. "It's a dream to be able to share it with others."

🌟 Meet Our Founder – Mallori 🌟

Hi, I’m Mallori! I started Cheney CPR in 2023 after experiencing firsthand how difficult it was to find a CPR class that worked with my busy schedule. At the time, I was working full-time as a nurse, full-time online student, wife, and mom—and I struggled to find a class that didn’t mean missing work or my son’s weekend sports.

That challenge is exactly what inspired me to create Cheney CPR. I wanted to provide a flexible way for people to get certified—whether it’s for work, school, or simply to learn life-saving skills—without having to sacrifice family or career commitments.

Since opening our doors, Cheney CPR has certified nearly 250 individuals, and our team has grown to include two instructors and an office coordinator. While I still love being in the classroom and teaching CPR, I also look forward to gradually stepping back so I can spend more time with my family while continuing to support our amazing team and community.

Thank you for being a part of Cheney CPR’s journey—I can’t wait to see how many more lives we empower together! ❤️
