Hello. My name is Harriet Ray and I am raising money to buy high quality, small light weight one-handed tourniquets which are invaluable to prevent arterial blood flow in the event of a traumatic wound. Uncontrolled bleeding can be life-threatening and having these tourniquets to hand allows individuals to provide immediate care whilst waiting for expert medical help. They significantly increase the chances of a preventable death. Each tourniquet costs in the region of £20 to £25.
