Running Challenge For Defibrillators

Here at Abbey Conservatories, in partnership with Reading Trade Windows, we are ‘running’ a hugely important campaign as we raise money to fund defibrillators for local schools.

While defibrillators are available at various places around the local area, there can never be enough of these or close enough at hand. Reaching a defibrillator in time, when someone is experiencing cardiac arrest, can truly mean the difference between life and death.

Layla, a friend of the company, is running 100 miles in one month in order to raise funds for this vital cause. For more information and what inspires us and to follow our progress, please visit our Go Fund Me Page today.

How Do Defibrillators Work?

A defibrillator works by shocking the heart back to its natural rhythm. This gives the person suffering from cardiac arrest valuable time while the paramedics are on their way.

It’s easy to use a defibrillator – easy enough to save someone’s life. As always, it’s best to seek assistance, so if you find yourself helping someone experiencing heart problems and in need of a defibrillator, call 999 and follow the instructions of the person on the line.

You could just save a life.

Fundraise with the Abbey Team

We’ve raised money for two defibrillators already, and we couldn’t be prouder of Layla and the whole team. The schools who received these are delighted, and we are too that we have made such a real difference to anyone who may need it one day (although, of course, we hope no one ever does).
