The Hinsdalean - Community journalism the way it was meant to be

The Village of Hinsdale and the Just1Mike Foundation will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony and dedication of the first 24/7 SaveStation public access defibrillator at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 21, at Burns Field, 320 N. Vine St.

The station is being dedicated in honor of Michael Brindley, who died of sudden cardiac arrest at age 16. The family are former residents of Hinsdale and Mike was a frequent user of Burns Field.

His mom, Kristy, will fly in from California to attend the ceremony.

A CPR demonstration by the Hinsdale Fire Department, featuring the Just1Mike Junior Board, will follow the dedication. Light refreshments will be served.
