<div>One morning two years ago (20.11.23) I completed my group dog walk in the Peak District and headed home. After dropping some dogs off I decided to check in on my mum just off Hunters Bar in Sheffield. I discovered her there collapsed on the floor. I did CPR as advised via the 999 call but it was clear she had died. She had suffered a heart attack. I'm not sure I or anyone could have done anything to change things or save her that day... But others who suffer a heart attack out of hospital could be saved if there is a public accessible defibrillator close by.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The end of Shorts Lane, S17 3AH (where Forest Dogs Land is located) is a really busy spot for mountain bikers, horse riders, nature lovers and (dog) walkers from surrounding areas to and from Blacka Moor and the Peak District.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>We propose to locate an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) on or close to our main gates at Forest Dogs Land.</strong> We would be the 'guardian' of the new device, providing the necessary power supply and ensuring it is fit for purpose. We have been in touch with the Community Defibrillation Co-ordinator at Yorkshire Ambulance Service and have quotes of around £2.5k for the device (£1-1.5k), cabinet (£500-£1k) plus installation.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We think this would be an ideal place for a defribrillator and could one day help save someone's life.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><span>Forest Dogs pledge the first £200 and kindly ask for your support in raising the rest of the funds required to achieve this. </span><br />

</div>

<div>There are more than 30,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in the UK each year and currently less than 1 in 10 survive.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If someone has a cardiac arrest, a defibrillator can help restart their heart while you’re waiting for the emergency services to arrive.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Without immediate intervention with a defibrillator, most cardiac arrests are fatal

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Every minute without CPR and a defibrillator, reduces survival chances by up to 10%.

</div>
