From the Race Organizer
Run/Walk To Save a Life is in honor of Christopher Andreozzi who passed away suddenly from sudden cardiac death caused by an arrhythmia on May 23, 2023. Christopher (Chris) was a lifelong resident of Hamden who graduated from Hamden High School, Trinity College, and Yale University. Chris was a devoted psychiatric APRN at Yale New Haven Hospital and Turnbridge. He was passionate about the care of his patients and believed that everyone should be treated with dignity and respect. Proceeds from this event will benefit the CJA Charitable Foundation, Inc. All donations to the CJA Charitable Foundation, Inc. go directly toward furthering the Foundation’s mission of honoring the life and legacy of Christoper. The Foundation is dedicated to raising awareness about Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) and arrhythmias while equipping individuals and communities with the knowledge and tools to respond to cardiac emergencies. Through CPR education, training and the placement of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), the Foundation empowers people to act confidently when every second counts. In addition to its direct initiatives, the CJA Charitable Foundation proudly supports the Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndrome (SADS) Foundation and the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. The Foundation also sponsors academic scholarships at Hamden High School and the Yale University School of Nursing, investing in the education of future healthcare leaders in Christopher’s memory.
