Deo Fisher's blazer (women's), all proceeds going to the Michael Abt Jr. Have a Heart Foundation. With treasure comes tragedy, as the Mel Fisher family found out way too many times, but the sudden death of Taffi Fisher Abt's son Michael on March 10, 2006, was completely unexpected and especially tragic, as he was only 12. Michael was active and ostensibly fit, a popular straight-A student who liked baseball, math, animals, music, skateboarding and motor-cross dirt biking. Naturally he was looking forward to scuba training as well. But then one day, while playing capture-the-flag during P.E. at his school, he simply collapsed from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). While CPR was administered in vain, apparently no one thought to get the school's Automated External Defibrillator (AED), which could have saved his life. Since then, Taffi and her husband Michael Sr. have campaigned to make sure schools and sports/youth groups have AED's handy AND have the proper training to know when and how to use them. Their foundation is the Michael Abt Jr. Have a Heart Foundation (www.haveaheartformichael.org), to which all proceeds from this lot, including buyer's fee, will be contributed. The lot item itself is a fitting tribute to the Fisher family anyway because it was the property of Deo Fisher, Mel's wife and Taffi's mother, who died at the beginning of 2009. The jacket is blood red in color, size 18, 55%/45% linen-cotton blend (dry clean only) and only lightly worn. Bid high so that you or someone you know can wear Deo's jacket proudly, knowing that you have done your part to prevent another tragedy like Michael's.
