Keyontae Johnson’s journey to the NBA is well documented.
The 2023 second-round rookie collapsed on the court in Dec. 2020 in Florida. After being hospitalized, he was diagnosed with a heart condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Instead of retiring and settling for millions of dollars in insurance claims, Johnson elected to continue his college career and was drafted by the Oklahoma City Thunder.
With Johnson in the NBA on a two-way deal, he recently announced the launch of his nonprofit organization, “The Key to My Heart.” It is dedicated to saving lives through critical cardiac initiatives.
The first donation made by Johnson’s nonprofit is an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to his old high school, Oak Hill Academy. The organization aims to supply life-saving AEDs and cardiac screenings to prevent cardiac-related incidents.
Blessed to have the opportunity to help save lives through The Key to My Heart 💙 https://t.co/lM82cUoyHT pic.twitter.com/rlyCUn4MvK
