Defib Update (The final one !!)

The final chapter on our defib appeal was realized this week when we were presented with our defib and storage unit. Ivan Sweeney accepted the unit on behalf of the Club from Patricia Kiernan from Cardiac Services who are the suppilers of the units (Pictured Below), While we hope we never have to use this potential life saving piece of eqiupment it is a great piece of mind to know that it is now at hand should the need arise.

This trip started back in April of this year when our club in conjunction with Mid West Radio and C&C Cellullar launched an appeal to collect 500 old mobile phones which could be exchanged for a Defib, we comfortably reached this total in May with the support of our local community, the next phase of the journey was completed in Sept this year when 6 members of the club succesfully completed there training and are now certified users of Defib units and the final chapter as metioned was the delivery of the unit this week.

We would again like to say to all involved in the appeal, Sponsors, trainers, collectors and all who donated, Thank you for your support!!
