AED for St Thomas Church, Aldridge (Wales Ironman 2019) – S1K

On Sunday 15th September I will be taking on the challenge of completing Ironman Wales, also known as ‘The Dragon’. The event starts with a 2.4 mile sea swim, followed by a very hilly 112 mile bike ride and then finishing with a marathon in and around the streets of Tenby.

I will be doing this to complete a personal challenge, but also to raise money in honour of my dad, David Beebee. For the last 6 months of his life my dad only had the use of 10% of his heart – but he continued to love and laugh – making his legendary ‘dad’ jokes with the nurses right up to the day before he passed. So I would like to use 100% of my heart to love, laugh, live and attempt to complete this challenge.

30,000 people die each year from out of hospital Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA), 620 of these are people under the age of 35 and 270 of these deaths happen to children within schools. If defibrillation takes place within the first three minutes of a SCA, the patient’s chances of survival increase by upwards of 80%.

Having the defibrillator installed means that it can be deployed by the local ambulance trust in a bid to give the patient the all-important shock to the heart prior to the ambulance arrival. The defibrillator is by no means a replacement to the ambulance service, it just allows patient treatment to commence immediately

All money raised will go towards a much needed defibrillator in the community of Aldridge. It will be based on the outside wall of St Thomas Church, so can be accessed by all the wonderful groups that run there and also the community and surrounding areas. If it saves just one life – it will be money well spent. Any donations, however small, will be very gratefully received.

 

 

If you are interested in becoming a Community Champion yourself or are aware of any places which may benefit from having public access to a defibrillator then please contact us on 01785 472224 or email us on info@aeddonate.org.uk. We will help you manage the campaign from start to finish, providing fundraising materials, a page just like this one and in some cases funding* helping you to help your community on its way to becoming heart safe.

 

 

*funding is dependent on your location as to what we have available from our funding partners. Funding changes on a daily basis to call us to find out more.

Tell me more »

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like AEDdonate to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that AEDdonate will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When AEDdonate receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.
