Do you know that within the UK, 12 people under the age of 35 die every week due to sudden cardiac arrest?

Do you also know that, when someone has a cardiac arrest, every minute without

CPR and defibrillation reduces their chance of survival by 7-10%?

Furthermore

If a defibrillator is used and effective CPR is performed within 3-5 minutes of cardiac arrest survival chances increase from 6% to 74% and without immediate treatment, 90-95% of Sudden Cardiac Arrest victims will die!

Frightening, isn’t it?

Do you also know that, to my knowledge, no public area within Denny have access to a defibrillator?

Ok, statistics show that 75% of cardiac arrests happen at the home but of the 25% out-with the home, the vast majority happen within public areas and happen at night time!

It’s stats and information like this that have caused a section of Denny Booters to take action and raise funds to donate a defib to the Fankerton Hut, a other buildings

Depending on how much we raise.

It’s always great to put something back into the community that we live and serve in and who knows, maybe one day one of these machines could save a life!
