The Hansam Group are proud to announce that the charity we are sponsoring for our annual fundraising day is OurJay Foundation.

As a team, we want to raise as much awareness as possible for this fantastic charity, so a team of 'Running Rhyno's' will be taking place in an Inflatable Run, all to raise money and awareness for 'OurJay's Foundation'.

The team will be tackling 32 gigantic obstacles in a 5k run whilst facing October weather!

About The Charity:

In the early hours of New Year's Day 2022, Jamie suffered a cardiac arrest.

Jamie was just at his friend's house watching fireworks and welcoming in the New Year.

Jamie's friends called an ambulance and started to do CPR on him. There was a defibrillator nearby, but they soon realised that it was locked inside the school, so they would not be able to access it.

A policeman was the first emergency service to reach Jamie, but unbelievably he did not have a defibrillator in his car. Jamie waited a catastrophic 17.33 minutes for an ambulance. Although paramedics did manage to get Jamie's heart beating again, the oxygen starvation to his brain meant saying goodbye to him on January 5th 2022.

Jamie had signed the organ donor register 3 times since he was 16 and he saved 5 lives on the night they lost him, this included an 8-month-old baby girl with a life-saving part liver transplant.

They started OurJay fundraising on 26th January, to purchase a 24/7 accessible defibrillator for Ashlawn School (which cost approx £1500) they quickly realised that they had reached double the target..so they kept going. The charity have so far raised £50,000 and have just installed our 22nd accessible defibrillator, with a further 13 already waiting to be installed across Warwickshire.

But, they keep going in the name of Jamie!

Accessible defibrillators are needed, everywhere. Cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, anywhere, at any time at any age. With a defibrillator available within 8 minutes, it can increase the chance of a person's survival by up to 70%

We appreciate all donations, no matter how big or small.

Thank you.
