Raising funds for a defibrillator
Train hard. Give back.
Our open day has been and gone. The JMS Total, the JMS Challenge, the taster classes and a good deal of cake — here's what it all added up to.
How it went
We raised £2,252
That will allow us to purchase a defibrillator. Thank you to everyone who entered, donated, bought a shirt or simply turned up on the day.
Why it matters
Every minute counts
The British Heart Foundation's own figures show why: over 40,000 people in the UK have a cardiac arrest outside hospital every year, and fewer than 1 in 10 survive it. A defibrillator on site changes those odds, long before an ambulance can realistically get there.
Every pound raised across both events goes towards a defibrillator.
Every entry, every sponsor, every raffle ticket
It all added up to £2,252. That will allow us to purchase a defibrillator.
