Story
I am going to swim the stretch of water from Portaferry to Strangford in an effort to raise enough money to install a communal defibrillator in Strangford. As the local community pharmacist I am only too aware of the needs of the village. We're a rural village and a cardiac events are not uncommon. The quick access to a defibrillator can be the difference between life and death. The device will be secured outside and if necessary can be accessed within seconds.
Support us. Give us the money to give someone a chance.
Come and see me splash my way across Strangford Lough.

4 years agoWell, despite the currents and the changing wind we got across in 21 minutes and 6 seconds. Thank you for all your support. We have raised over £4,500 which will be more than sufficient for the defibs, cabinets and training. Any money left over will be distributed to local groups at a later date. Thank you all for all your support both financially and otherwise. It was a fun day and I was overwhelmed by the crowd waiting for me on the quay. We'll get the defibs and cabinets in place ASAP; hopefully within 2 weeks. Thanks again. Shane
