##Update on AED fundraiser. ##

I am very happy to announce that I have with the kind donations of many people, been able to purchase a Zoll AED. I now have a great tool in my kit to be able to assist me to help save People. Thank you all for your donations and I hope never to have to use it but if i do i hope it helps. Thank you all once again

I am raising funds to buy an Automated External Defibrillator. A sudden cardiac arrest will kill nine out of ten patients it affects if bystanders do not intervene. AEDs were developed to enable non-medical personnel to administer life-saving electrical shocks to the heart of a person experiencing a heart attack. I respond to medical emergency that happen within a 2km radius of me at anytime via an app. If someone calls 111 about a life threatening issue and a responder is close we get alerted also. With a heart attack the odds of recovery greatly increase if someone attends and administers CPR. It also increases more if an AED is available and used. As these devices cost $2995 each I am asking if anyone can assist me to afford this device so I can have the right tools should I need them to save a life. In the last month alone I have attended 3 callouts. Having an AED to hand would be a real life saver. Thank you for your consideration and any money you can spare to help me save a life.

So far I have raised $2000 so i just need help to raise the final $995 Please help.
