Your Real Champion®: “Luca, Shine your Light!”

Frank DeSimone and his wife Elizabeth welcomed triplets to their family on August 3, thrilled that their little angels made it to 32 weeks of development. Then exactly 33 days later, their tiny baby boy Luca, barely over 4 pounds, sustained a cardiac arrest. Listen as this loving father tells the story of a harrowing experience, and how his quick response to initiate CPR saved his baby’s life.
