Hi - I'm Lottie. Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. As part of my Batmitzvah celebrations I am raising money to purchase a much needed defibrillator in memory of my uncle, Andrew Cohen.

A defibrillator may have helped him at the time when he needed it and I want other people to have access to one if they ever should need it.

I have teamed up with a charity called The Oliver King Foundation to help me organise the project. Here is a little bit about the charity-

Oliver King was a 12-year-old boy who attended King David High School in Liverpool, whilst winning a swimming race in a PE lesson he tragically suffered a sudden cardiac arrest due to a condition known as Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADS). This condition kills 12 young people under the age of 35 every single week in the UK. Sadly there was no lifesaving defibrillator on hand, and for every minute that passed his chances of survival dropped significantly. In his memory, The Oliver King Foundation’s work has saved 69+ lives, placing over 5,900 lifesaving defibrillators across the UK and 135,00 staff trained in CPR and defibrillation.

The cost of a defibrillator and the training is £1460. I hope to raise the money and save lives. I plan to organise a coffee morning as well as some other projects.

Thank you for your support

Lottie
