00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: Freddy Espinhall's family says he was a light in the

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: world and loved being a wrestler. It's now been over

3
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: a year since he died after he went into sudden

4
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,239
Speaker 1: cardiac arrest during a practice, something his family believes could

5
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: have been prevented if he had an EKG on his heart.

6
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: That's why his mom, Adele Labonte, and his sister Alexis

7
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: are taking action.

8
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 2: We need to turn this grief into something that's positive,

9
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 2: because who knows how many other families out there are

10
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:25,159
Speaker 2: going through this.

11
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: They partnered with State Rep. Tom Walsh to create Freddy's

12
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: Law that would require high school athletes get a free

13
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: EKG as a part of their sports. Physical Representative Walsh

14
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: says it's a no brainer.

15
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 3: It seems to me that it would be far less

16
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 3: expensive to have everyone have an EKG who's playing sports,

17
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 3: then wait until an unfortunate incident occurs, and then be

18
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 3: looking for a go fund me money when we can

19
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 3: save lives.

00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,519
