IRONMAN 70.3 Staffordshire · 9 June 2019 ·

The North West Ambulance Charity funds lifesaving equipment, education programmes and other projects to benefit the health, wellbeing and safety of patients, staff and the wider community outside of core NHS funding. Supporting staff and volunteers to save lives.

Story

Over 30,000 people in the UK suffer a cardiac arrest outside hospitals, in homes and communities. Of these less than 1 in 10 victims survive to be discharged from hospital.

I am teaming up with North West Ambulance Service and my gym The Strength Factory Westhoughton to raise money for a community based, accessible defibrillator which will be placed on the outside of the gym building.

Access to a defibrillator can provide life saving treatment before emergency services arrive on scene and increase the chances of survival.

On the 9 June I will be doing Ironman Staffordshire 70.3 a long distance triathlon (1.2mile open water swim, 56 mile bike ride and 13.1mile run) to raise money to purchase the defibrillator which costs £1,200. If you can help me help save lives of local people in Westhoughton I would be grateful.

Thank you

Vicky
