Story

Thanks to all those who have already sponsored me for this event. If you follow the link ....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brQGX685sVg..  you can see the leap of "no" faith for yourselves in glorious technicolour!  There are also a couple of snaps added to the original few scabby ones and hopefully some more to come when "No 1 son" works out how to use his i-phone (",) .  

Hi there, I joined the Lincolnshire Integrated Voluntary Emergency Service (LIVES) as a basic First Responder last year after coming across a fellow shipmate who had stopped breathing and I didn’t really know what to do to help him. Having attempted to provide rudimentary 1st aid unfortunately without success, I subsequently vowed that I would never be in that position again where I just didn’t know what to do to help save someone’s life.  LIVES provide the training and expertise to enable anyone who is interested in helping their community and willing to provide that vital first response so often necessary in rural communities before the ambulance service can arrive on the scene.

LIVES volunteer First Responders attend over 10,000 emergency calls each year and we rely on public donations to help us self fund over 86 groups around Lincolnshire alone.

Please donate as little or as much as you feel you can to enable us to maintain this valuable and much needed service to our local community.
