After achieving my personal best running the 2016 Lincoln 10K, then completing Tough Mudder 2016 I'm embarking on running the 13.1 mile Great North Run  Half Marathon!

WHY?! Well, I’ve trained to be a First Responder through LIVES and I’m hoping that you will feel compelled to help me save lives by donating.

This is the only totally voluntary First Responder team in the country - when you ring 999,a trained LIVES volunteer from your community will be first on the scene.

Those essential first few minutes can make a life or death difference to chest pains, cardiac arrest, breathing difficulty and strokes. Volunteers give up their time and raise the money to pay for their training and kit - defibrillator, pulse oximeter, oxygen, mask etc. When we use it, we have to replace it....(a full kit bag costs up to £2,000)
We are simply giving up our time to maybe, one day, help save a life of someone in our community. So you see, your donation really could help save someone’s life. See below to get an idea of how your  donation will help:

£4,000 – Train and equip a local group of 1st Responder volunteers
£2,000 – 1st Responder Kit Bag + equipment
£1,000 – Defibrillator
   £250 – Pulse Oximeter  (measures pulse rate & oxygen saturation level)
   £250 – Extra Training & equipment for advanced 1st Responder 
   £165 – Train a single 1st Responder volunteer
   £160 – Replacement Kit bag (not including equipment)
     £40 – Oxygen cylinder Bag
     £10 – CPR Pocket mask
