<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I am looking for a little bit of sponsorship from you all, as little as &pound;1 each would be fantastic because on the 1st of August me and Pete Saunders will be cycling some 300km from Warrington to Halesworth in Suffolk in aid of First Responders;</p> <p>Who will be the first to pledge a donation :)</p> <p>Volunteers operate as part of a rota system from their own home or place of work. They are dispatched at the same time as an ambulance via ambulance control to attend Category A 'immediately life &ndash; threatening' calls. These calls can include:</p> <p>cardiac arrest</p> <p>diabetic emergency</p> <p>unconscious patient</p> <p>breathing difficulties</p> <p>seizures.</p> <p>Community First Responders are dispatched to calls under normal road conditions using their own cars. They do not have the authority to drive under emergency conditions.</p> <p>This worthwhile role means that you can often be first on the scene to a patient in need, assessing the condition and prioritising your response. CFRs are trained to not only assess the immediate situation but also to ascertain a previous medical history whilst treating a patient. Sometimes they can simply be a very vital second pair of hands to an ambulance crew when they arrive.</p>
