Every day hundreds of people lose their lives to heart disease. Many could be saved if they had quicker access to defibrillators, and ERS staff are raising money to purchase units and make them available for community use. Any support that you can give us would be hugely appreciated.

We were initially motivated to undertake a sponsored walk in memory of our friend and colleague, Steven Nisbet, who sadly passed away suddenly in July 2019. Stevie was much loved and respected by both his ERS work colleagues and clients alike. Since then colleagues, friends and family have also been affected and in particular we wish Dougie Hoblyn a full and speedy recovery

Fundraising will be centred around a sponsored walk on 10th September 2022 covering the second stage of the Great Trossachs Path: 11.75miles / 19km from Trossachs Pier to Callander. Due to Covid restrictions we had to cancel earlier plans for a fundraiser and we are now looking forward to the challenge!

Our goal is to purchase at least 2 defibrillators which will be registered on the national database and available for use by anyone who may require it. Anything over and above this would be donated to the British Heart Foundation. The BHF has helped halve the number of people dying each year from heart and circulatory disease in the UK. It's only thanks to support and donations that the BHF can create new treatments and discover new cures. We hope that our donation would go some way to supporting their important work.

We would really appreciate any support you can give to help us achieve this. You'll see our team fundraising target on the right. Your donation can really help us smash this goal!
