Fundraising for The Community Heartbeat Trust

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In September I will (hopefully) be completing The Robin Hood Half Marathon to help raise enough funds to buy two community public access defibrillators for Oxton, the small, rural village where myself and my family live.

I have chosen to run for this cause for a number of reasons firstly my lovely wife co runs the Oxton Defibrillator Action Group and also works very hard looking after patients with heart conditions at the Queens Medical Centre. Secondly, last year I was diagnosed with a heart condition myself. As a reasonably fit 36 year old this came as a bit of a shock but training for the half marathon has built back the confidence I lost in my abilities.

The Community Heartbeat Trust helps communities undertake defibrillator projects taking into account the needs for the right equipment, the right support, the right adherence to liabilities and governance, community awareness and training programmes, and help with the fund raising and long term support for these projects. As the leading community defibrillator charity in the UK, we have become recognised by ambulance services, councils, community groups and sports governing bodies as the 'gold standard', having set many of the standards now being adopted by other organisations. We live, breath and are hugely passionate about community defibrillation in all its forms, and seek always to offer a holistic and objective advice to communities. We believe a defibrillator is for LIFE and not just for Christmas, and these medical devices should be available to save lives. But they are just that, a medical device, and must be treated with respect. A good project is not about just a defibrillator in the community, but one that forms part of a resilient process, addressing needs, and fully backed by Governance. www.communityheartbeat.org.uk
