Eddie Barnett Jr. Foundation hosts Rose Festival benefit
The Eddie Barnett Jr. Foundation
will host a 3.8-mile Walk For Life
during the Rose Festival, Saturday,
June 3 beginning at 9 a.m.
When Christeen Johnson lost her
16-year-old son to a heart condition
last year, she started the foundation
to create awareness for Hyper­
trophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM), a
form of degenerative heart disease
Barnett was diagnosed with as an
early teen.
Friends and family knew Eddie as
“Eezy Baby” because of his smile,
jokes and love for people. He was a
talented basketball player from first
grade till the day he died, collapsing
on the Grant High School basketball
court due to sudden cardiac arrest in
February 2005.
Because of Johnson’s foundation,
in July 2005 a bill was signed into law
in Oregon, making Automatic Exter­
nal Defibrillators mandatory in ev­
ery health and fitness center and
school district. The law is named the
Graeme Jones and Eddie Barnett Jr.
Memorial Act, and now several Port-
land-area schools own an automatic
clim b. It has plenty o f get up and
go for the start o f acceleratio n .
The 2006 Subaru O utback is a
wagon with no equal when it com es
to off-road capability and, with a
pow erful engine lineup and sharp
reflexes on pavem ent, y o u ’11 find it
fun to drive even w hen the w eather
isn’t terrible. A small backseat will
keep it from com peting with larger-
capacity SU Vs, but for the family o f
four looking for stylish transporta­
tion for all seasons, it could be a
perfect fit.
defibrillator, a piece of equipment
that some believe might have saved
Barnett.
Because of who and what Eezy
Baby was, his legacy will live on
through the awareness, education and
support for an estimated 300,000
people in the United States living with
HCM. Those who'd like to make a
difference in the name of Barnett and
others diagnosed with HCM can par­
ticipate in the Walk For Life.
The Rose Festival-sanctioned four-
mile walk starts at Jefferson High
School at North Commercial and
Killingsworth and finishes at Grant
High School at Northeast 33rd Av­
enue and Thompson.
Mayor Tom Potter and Oregon
Rep. Mark Hass are scheduled to
attend, and a celebration at Grant
with music, vendors, info booths and
more will follow the walk
Registration is $ 15 for adults, $ 10
for students. Pre-registration is from
8 a.m. to 9 a.m. the day of the event.
