By Sydni Eure

SYDNI EURE: This is your NCC News Brief. it’s Tuesday June 7th. I’m Sydni Eure. Central New Yorkers love to support charities… particularly by putting on their racing shoes.
600 runners took to the streets Saturday morning to participate in Paige’s Butterfly Run.
and although many runners were happy to be back – for some this year was their first time.
people like Paul Chwalek who decided to come out and support the cause.

PAUL CHWALEK: “I have grandkids… I have grandkids you know? Anything I can help to do to help research, god forbid they ever get it. That’s why.”

EURE: Nearly 30-thousand-dollars have been raised for local pediatric cancer research and programs. Syracuse Stallions stand out forward Justin Moss – nearly sidelined forever after receiving a devastating diagnosis of hypo-cardiomyopathy right before his college career was set to begin.

JUSTIN MOSS: “waking up at six a-m every morning to go practice and play a game and then have them tell you that you can no longer you know do the sport that you love.

EURE: A love so strong that kept moss pushing to get back in the game. moss now standing strong and making a difference at the end of a winning season with the stallions. Moss was given a second chance at life – but for others who run into issues with heart health – they aren’t as lucky. NCC News reporter Tessa Howard reports that 450-thousand Americans die from cardiac arrest each year and with this week being national CPR and AED Awareness week – CPR trainers are urging people to get training so they can help in a time of crisis.

CHAD THOMPSON: “the more people that get trained the better outcome the person will have in the long run. because it lessens that gap between us getting there.”

EURE: You can find the full story about how one woman’s training saved a loved one’s life right here at NCC News online. For this full story and more visit our site and follow us on social media at ncc news online. Until tomorrow, this is your NCC News Brief.

Central New Yorkers love to support charities, especially when it means they can put on their running shoes. Paige’s Butterfly Run raised $30,000 to help local pediatric cancer research and programs. For many of those 5k runners, the chance to support a great cause and get a work out in too is a great deal.

This week is National CPR and AED Awareness Week and heart health is nothing to leave to chance. And, one Syracuse basketball player knows this all too well after being diagnosed with  hypo-cardiomyopathy his senior year of high school. The news putting an end to his D-1 plans to play in college. Luckily, for Moss, he was given a second chance. However with 450,000 American dying by cardiac arrest each year, the push to learn CPR and AED is at an all time high.
