A HUGE THANK YOU!

At Party in the Park you raised £1465 by coming along and having a great time. As a result you are helping us to:

• train, in partnership with Heartwize RTP, thousands (15,000 to date ) of school children, the vital life skills of CPR and how to use a AED, in readiness for if someone collapses with a sudden cardiac arrest.
• through the Joe's Mini HeartStart for sports scheme aimed at offering sports club members including players, officials and supporters the chance to learn cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and how to use a defibrillator.
• to make people across Leicestershire & Rutland, the UK and in other countries aware of the possible symptoms, signs and concerns regarding SADS.
• to provide grants for defibrillator boxes for sports clubs and community groups and advice on where best these should be placed (ie. in a cabinet so that they may be fully accessible 24/7) and training on familiarisation of defibs to take the 'fear factor' away from their use.
• fund small grants to talented young people who need help to reach their potential, something so cruelly denied to the young victims of SADS. To date over 50 awards have been made to help our young realise their dreams.
• to deliver annual educational conferences and learning events delivered by leading medical practitioners and experts throughout the county to promote the understanding and reduce the incidence of SADS.

But there is so much more to do and this is only possible through the willingness of kind hearted and talented volunteers and funds raised so generously donated to help us achieve our goals and create a heart safe community for all.

Thank You
