Story

There are a huge number of statistics that show the risk SCA and why defibrillators are so important and should be available in public buildings, leisure centres, workplaces, schools and community areas across the UK, to name a few.
•270 children die in the UK every year after suffering a Sudden Cardiac Arrest at school
•Based on European data, it is estimated that there is approximately 60,000 Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrests occur every year in the UK
•In England alone, the Ambulance Service attempts resuscitation in around 30,000 OHCA cases, annually
•Approximately 80% of Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrests occur at Home; 20% will occur in public places
•Without immediate treatment, 90-95% of Sudden Cardiac Arrest victims will die
•If a defibrillator is used and effective CPR is performed within 3-5 minutes of cardiac arrest, their chance of survival increases from 6% to 74%
•Only 22% of people in the UK would be confident in performing CPR on a stranger

Well done Ash on raising money for this, a vital bit of kit which you hope you never need but gives a better chance of survival if you do. Very proud to be part of this gym!
