Story

After having two family members affected with heart conditions (both fully recovered now thankfully) and seeing a defibrillator being used in real life I decided I would raise funds for a great local charity who are installing defibrillators in public places and training people to use them......As none of us know when we might need one or have to use one to save a life!

Any donation however small would help this charity massively!

Heartstart Thatcham brings Heartstart, as organised by the the British
Heart Foundation (BHF), to the area. The are independent of the BHF and provide free Emergency Life Support (ELS) training in the community.
They are aimed at the public, and anyone from the age of ten upwards can attend and learn the complete range of ELS skills. To date 2.6 million people have been trained through Heartstart.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
