    Story

    Myself Liam Baird and my cousin Adam Canning will be doing a skydive around June time for this great cause which we hold closely to our hearts if we can raise the right amount of money. You will also get to see me and Adam absolutely **** ourselves as the pair of us can't stand heights!

     Please, Please read the story below and anything you can spare will be so much appreciated. IT TAKES LESS THAN 5 MINUTES TO BLEED TO DEATH FROM A STABBING – YOU CAN HELP BEFORE THE AMBULANCE ARRIVESOur Cousin Daniel Baird was 26 years of age when he was fatally stabbed in the early hours of 8th July 2017, outside The Forge Tavern in Birmingham. He was on a night out with friends. There was no first aid or bleed control kit available, and Dan died shortly after arriving at hospital due to catastrophic bleeding.Dan was out with his friends having a good time. His life should not have ended in this tragic way. Had there been a publicly accessible bleed control kit available, Dan may still be with us. We believe that having publicly accessible bleed control kits in all major shopping centres, pubs/clubs, public transport stations, and other public building is a priority given the current knife crime epidemic. Our aim is to reduce and stop knife crime as no family should have to feel this pain.Our charitable organisation, The Daniel Baird Foundation, is now up and running, thanks to generous donations from the many who share our concerns around this knife crime epidemic. We now have multiple prototype bleed control kits, and have showcased these in various media – the next step is to roll them out to public establishments, and to offer the training required to put them to use, and to save a life.Although we have made great steps already, our story is not nearly over, and we will continue to lobby for change and to ultimately end the knife crime epidemic.Our bleed control kits contain everything needed to get a significant bleed under control at the scene. It can take less than 5 minutes to bleed to death from a violent injury caused by a knife – with increasing demand on the emergency services, these kits will buy valuable time whilst an ambulance crew is on the way.For more information, please go to:http://www.controlthebleed.org.uk/
