Like most of you, I have never really given much thought to the possibility of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) or the location of the nearest defibrillator. These events always seem happen to someone else until they actually happen to you or someone you love.
Having lost a family member through Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA), it brings home the fact that there is an urgent need for Defibrillators in Rufford and the surrounding areas. (Rural Area) For every minute it takes for the defibrillator to reach someone and deliver a shock, their chances of survival reduce by up to 10%. Only 3% of cardiac arrests happen within the recommended retrieval distance of a defibrillator. I want to make a difference to someone’s life and my aim is to raise funds for a Defibrillator in Holmeswood for easy public access 24/7 to assist with the event of a Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). I approached AEDdonate for help getting this off the ground and they are supporting me with this campaign. An external AED package (total price) is normally £1,999 but AEDdonate have kindly agreed to contribute £500 towards my campaign for which I am grateful. |
