Colin Tollefson was found to have Wolff-Parkinson-White(WPW) syndrome at the October 2015 Play for Patrick Heart Screening.

Active in hockey and baseball, 14-year-old Colin Tollefson was discovered to have WPW syndrome, an extra electrical pathway between his heart’s upper and lower chambers that can cause a rapid heartbeat. Thankfully, it was identified by P4P volunteers and ablated by Colin’s cardiologist, successfully eliminating the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD).

Colin has resumed his activities, playing both baseball & hockey. Colin & Patrick were friends, classmates and teammates and Colin was at the game when Patrick collapsed. This wonderful story is about how Colin’s life was saved by the organization that exists because of Patrick.
