MILLBURN – Accidents and emergencies can happen anywhere at any time. Thanks to support from The Danielle Brender Fund, Inc., American Red Cross will offer Adult CPR/AED training in Millburn on Sunday, Feb. 10 at a special rate of $20 (with coupon).
This is the 12th year for the event in honor of Danielle Brender, a seemingly healthy 11-year-old who died after suffering Sudden Cardiac Arrest on April 15, 2000.

Her parents were not aware she had this condition and since her death, three of her four siblings, as well as a parent and grandparent, have been diagnosed with this disorder.
