Hello Hello, Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm trying to raise some much deserved cash for LIVES, the Lincolnshire Integrated Voluntary Emergency Service and to do this i will be running the Paris Marathon in April -(yes thats right  the words running, Marathon and I Will Be all in the same sentence!!)

LIVES Responders are trained to deliver early Basic Life Support and early Defibrillation,in addition they provide patient assessment, oxygen therapy and general patient care.

IMPORTANT BIT - PAY ATTENTION :-Following a Cardiac Arrest, the chance of survival decreases by over 10% for every minute of delay until help arrives. After 8 minutes (which is the government response target for ambulance trusts), survival is less than 5%. Lives responders are located within communities to increase the chance of attending a patient within that 8 minute window, increasing the chance of providing life saving treatment.This means that in towns and villages where there is a First Responder group, the chance of survival following Cardiac Arrest has increased to 35%. In a county as large as Lincolnshire this is a fantastic service to have.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So there you have it, please dig deep and donate now. I would be eternally gratefull and may even come round and dig your allotment or cut you lawn for you as thanks for your very generous donation (emphasis on the word may !!).

If you are kind enough to donate thank you very much, i really appreciate it.

Love to all
