</div>
<div><strong>Problem</strong>
</div>
<div>The recommended time to react to a cardiac arrest with a defibrillator is instantly - for every second and minute there-after the rate of survival decreases exponentially. This means the lifesaving protocol of identifying the signs of a cardiac arrest, applying CPR and having an AED/defibrillator response is an immediate requirement.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Problem 1</strong>. - More than 70% of cardiac arrests take place at home, yet AED / defibrillators are <strong><em>not</em></strong> strategically positioned outdoors in residential areas around Balbriggan to provide 24-7 public access should an immediate response be required.
</li>
<li><strong>Problem 2</strong>. - There are <strong>no</strong> Community First Responders (CFRs) in Balbriggan in the event of cardiac arrest, heart attack, stroke or choking incidents.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>This campaign is to raise funds for Balbriggan's Chain of Survival Programme. Active projects in the programme:</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Balbriggan</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>First</strong> <strong>Responders</strong> (CFRs) in partnership with esteemed charity CRITICAL.
</li>
<li><strong>Balbriggan Residential Rapid Access Defibrillators</strong>. Install outdoor AEDs in <strong><em>residential</em></strong> areas 420 meters apart in Balbriggan.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Balbriggan Community Support Needed</strong>
</div>
<div>Each AED and Outdoor Cabinet will cost €1,750<em> (€1250 upwards for recommended AED, €500 for outdoor cabinet)</em>. Installation, battery and pad maintenance will incur additional costs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Balbriggan Population Density</strong>
</div>
<div>Of all the towns with a population of 1,500 people or over, Balbriggan is the second most densely populated in Ireland with 5,481 people per km2 (Central Statistics Office).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Overall Goal</strong>
</div>
<div>For Balbriggan to be the first town in Ireland with an AED / Defibrillator coverate of 95% for the town's population e.g. <em>An AED/Defribrillator, publicly accessible 24-7, within 3-5 minutes or 420 meters apart in </em><strong><em>residential</em></strong><em> areas.</em>
</div>

BALBRIGGAN CHAIN OF SURVIVAL

<div>About 3 weeks ago I came up with an idea to organise a day out for the Ukrainian refugee children and their mothers. I roped my 5 year old son in to run a 2km junior park run to get sponsorship to fund the event, which I named Play In Peace.<br /><br />I was blown away by the generosity of friends and family and the willingness of local businesses to get involved.<br /><br />Since then we have run two days out with the help of a group of amazing volunteers made up of friends and strangers who all wanted to help. We have another outing planned tomorrow, a forth on Monday and plenty more in the pipeline.<br /><br />While businesses are generously giving us the use of their premises for free or at a significant discount, the cost of transport is substantial, given the interest in the events and the fact that the families are spread across a number of different hotels in Dublin.<br /><br />I know most people have already donated to the Ukrainian cause in one way or another, but if you are in a position to contribute in any way we would be very grateful.<br /> <br />*******************************************************************************************************************************<br /><br />Hi,
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>I am organising a day out on Tuesday for the Ukrainian refugee kids and their mother's to the play centre in Drogheda and hopefully mcdonalds afterwards.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>The playcentre are doing it for free and the bus is only charging for the diesel which is really decent of them.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Anyway to cover the costs my 5 year old son Tristan is doing the 2km junior park run on Sunday and is looking for sponsorship. Any little helps x
</div>

Play in peace

My Name is Rory McGrath, My son's name is James McGrath, Unfortunately at the end of last summer, James was diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkin's lymphoma (a type of immune cancer). at 17 years of age, James had to face this horrendous disease and has had to cope with things, no child, his age... or any age has or should. James is a special kid and has a strength that I have never personally witnessed before. his battle started in August and continues today. <br /><br />We want to Support James Post Care, Put light at the end of his tunnel and show him how much people care about him and that with Positivity, He will beat this. I would like to let people in on what exactly James has done in the last 5-6 months. I want to highlight what he has suffered, the strains and torments he braved and how he felt whilst doing all this. Whilst I have your attention I hope to throw a light on how amazing the Staff at Tallaght University Hospital, the volunteers at www.giveblood.ie and how brilliant the support from his family and his friends, and all their friends have been over the last while. we will be splitting the Donations between James and HL research and giveblood.ie<br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/53896950_1610486671417528_r.jpeg" alt="53896950_1610486671417528_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/53896950_1610486931723104_r.jpeg" alt="53896950_1610486931723104_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br /><br />after we Detail what it's like to be an HL patient, I want to detail what I will do in the hope that you will sponsor James, HL research and GiveBlood.ie, so please read on...<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/53896950_1610486959715539_r.jpeg" alt="53896950_1610486959715539_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br /><br />I had a chat with James to identify what exactly this ordeal was like. I asked because I looked at him and thought, this stuff is supposed to be hard... but James always smiles and has so much grace while he has something inside him trying to kill him (this is a fact). so I wanted to know. I found the following hard to listen to when he said it, Hard to write when I wrote it... but importantly, so fuckin Inspiring<br /><br />- So James, What is it like?<br /><br />Before going to the hospital, it's so difficult because you know the stress that's coming, anxiety grabs you and it feels disheartening. I know I'm missing all the homely stuff that I'm used to, not being able to cook the grub I like or play the games I'm into. I know I'm about to be locked in a room for a few days. I don't sleep much, I have nerves because what's coming before going in... so I'm always pretty tired before getting to the hospital. <br /><br />His BPM 90 (a resting BPM for someone fit and in health averages at 70BPM)<br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/53896950_1610486765446910_r.jpeg" alt="53896950_1610486765446910_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br />before he goes in, he goes to haematology to take blood (5 vile's, a bottle of coke), they do this to make sure he can physically take what's coming. when the results are sufficient they prep and send the chemo up to his ward. He takes anti-sickness medicine due to the ferociousness of the chemo cocktail, blood-thinning injection to stop clots in his heart and brain (the Chemo can cause that), takes tablets to fight other side effects of the chemo. Then,  Chemo is hooked up...<br /> <br />day 1 - He gets one-hour chemo, with 25 pills to take over the day, Then a 2-hour stint of another chemo. overnight he is flushed with intravenous fluids, he gets woken up every 2 hours for Vital check, he is tired but can't sleep due to the chemical cocktail that's in him, it makes him shiver and sweat at the same time. the body isn't in no way designed for these chemicals, it is the stuff that kills Cancer, so imagine what it does to Healthy Cells<br /><br />His BPM 110... things are Winding tight<br /><br />day 2 -  James is woken up if he's asleep (Unlikely) at 7 for another coke can of the blood being drawn from him. more vitals to make sure he is in a condition for chemo. He gets another 1 hour... followed by another 2-hour bout of Chemo, Just like he did the day before and then takes on the HEAVY CHEMO  bout for 24 hours. It's very hard to move around with constant drip in your arm and pain from the chemicals... one night when I was there with him, I saw the ordeal it was just to get to the toilet. the following happens, but note much much more is happening to him in his head, there is puking, the throat swells up and cant swallow the stomach turns into knots, body curls up, and at this point, he is at about 36 hours without food... only sips of water... <br /><br />His at 120-130 BPM (FOR 24 FUCKIN hours). this is an awful Fight he is in<br /><br />day 3 - Wakes up on the previous day's drip, if he manages any sleep. They take off the drip around 2 PM to shower, he hasn't been able to clean (wouldn't have the energy to do it either). He gets a break for about an hour, then takes another round of the 2-hour chemo. Then he takes 3 intravenous pushes to clear the line, he takes medicine to protect his liver (Mezna) and makes him burn up and feel sick, he takes tablets to protect his organs (about 25 in each day as mentioned )<br /><br />His BPM is above 140 now. Imagine having to run for 3 days constant... literally running for your Life<br /><br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/53896950_1610486808250214_r.jpeg" alt="53896950_1610486808250214_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><br /><br />Whilst that's a high number, note that he is above 100 BPM for about 3-3.5 days<br /><br />When his body has regulated after therapy, he needs examination to leave, then he gets blood... THIS IS IMPORTANT! one day his haemoglobin was about 7 ish, it should be 14. The Low Haemo count means he does be tired and sluggish, picking up a cup makes him feel like he can't breathe and faint, his eyes want to close and he has no focus, meaning walking is not a great idea<br /><br />THIS IS SO IMPORTANT! He gets Blood transfusions (from donators all around Ireland) when you get the blood (2 bags normally about 500ml, 2 coke bottles ). the low Haemo puts him asleep... the blood flows in whilst asleep,  with the fresh blood he literally becomes human again, he can laugh and joke, even play his Playstation. the staff in the Hospital even have to come in to tell us to shut the Laughter up :) ... That's James for you, in the trenches taking Grenades, And Laughing! <br /><br /><br />When in the thick of it James lost all his hair... which is hard for any Kid growing up and finding his way. His eyebrows went, eyelashes and his beard faded away... legs and arm hair disappeared. his muscles mass deteriorated due to the chemo cocktail. Muscles regress to the level of an old man due to the chemicals eating away at him. Food never tastes right, when he cant eat. During all this you can imagine what a teenager thinks, he was depressed because he thought his life was over... literally... at one point he thought and felt "the worst". If not for the people closest to him, he felt like giving up. But he didn't, because as soon as he thought that he also thought... "Get Fucked" I'm pushing this home.<br /><br />The precautions taken to do all this, should never be taken by a child, he had to freeze sperm in case he couldn't have kids after this treatment, he had to have bone marrow pulled from the base of his spine (GCSF, look it up). this is one of the most torturous procedures in medicine, James has done it about 4-5 times so far. this is because his Immuno is compromised. I've probably written so much about how amazing he is, maybe I've bored you, I don't really care cause these words are true, and done it all the while during one of the worlds most dangerous pandemic. Not being able to go anywhere because he couldn't, He couldn't see his friends and family, for the most part... Only Myself and his Amazing Mother were allowed to go up to see him<br /><br />My son is more than a Hero or a Warrior, like any other child who faced this unendurable disease! they shouldn't be exposed to this. Each cycle is ( 4 days with 2 weeks of break from chemo on pills and isolation )he did this 6 times in total.... 6 Times!!!! <br /><br />I want to reward James with the option of maybe buying a car to get to college, or getting to go to somewhere in the world that he's been dreaming of. I want him to have a huge light at the end of a very dark tunnel, and to walk away with the knowledge that his best years are ahead. <br /><br />So, I will split whatever is donated, half to James and Half to the Charities mentioned above. <br /><br />To Earn that and Raise Awareness for the Kids in the world battling chemo, I will do the following. there is an Activity I cultivated. its a 5km walk, 10km run and 20km Cycle. this would constitute about 4-5 hours of having my BPM's above 120. I'll add 5km more to it (roughly marathon distance). In a small way, this will highlight the fact James's body never rests. He never gets to sleep either, so, I'll run at night from Midnight to the early hours. He doesn't eat while on Chemo, so I won't eat for 12 hours before the activity and 12 hours after. I'll show My fit bit readouts after. ill also report what I felt likeif anyone is interested. I want to mimic in a much smaller way, what it must be like to suffer what James goes through daily. <br /><br />Thanks for reading this, and thanks for your support.<br /><br />#FullPelt #ForJames #ILoveYouSON <br /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/53896950_1610487036166085_r.jpeg" alt="53896950_1610487036166085_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/53896950_1610487050943006_r.jpeg" alt="53896950_1610487050943006_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" />

James's Fight (Full Pelt) at Hodgkin's Lymphoma

<p>Firstly, thank you so much for visiting this page, I know 2020 has been a stressful year and has placed enormous financial pressure on families. I will be completing daily sea swims from the 13th of December until Christmas Day, for ARC cancer support services.  If you can donate anything at all I would be so thankful.
</p>

<p>Please read our story below
</p>

<p>Unfortunately for my family the last two <br />years have been extremely difficult. In April<br />2019 my mam was diagnosed with a <br />cancerous brain tumour at the age of 46. She was operated on immediately and began the lengthy process of radiation and chemotherapy. She completed her treatment in January.
</p>

<p>It was a tough year but she was so strong. Then we received another blow when her husband, my dad Peadar, was diagnosed with prostate cancer after investigations which started in February.He too was operated on immediately and began his healing at home. The thought of possibly loosing two parents was incomprehensible, it shook our family. 
</p>

<p>What offered us some peace was the supporting services of ARC. The goal of ARC is to provide psychological, emotional, educational and practical support in a warm and welcoming environment to people with cancer and those who care for them. Their services are confidential, professional and caring, and are provided free of charge. 
</p>

<p>Currently ARC are running all services online, these services are vital and need to continue. Please please donate what you can, you or someone you know may need their support too. 
</p>

12 dips of Christmas - ARC Cancer Support Services

This is my gorgeous sister Clare, on Monday 1st June 2020 she had an accident and came off her bike.  Her face took most of the impact as she hit the kerb.  She split her chin open, broke her jaw in 2 places and worst of all broke 10 teeth, including her 2 front teeth. Repairing her smile will be a life project and the cost upwards of €10,000, possibly multiples of this, she has already had to have 2 removed, has had root canal to try to save others with the prospect of losing more very likely.  As someone with a fear of dentists you can imagine how harrowing this is, eating through a straw on a liquid diet for the foreseeable future.  Any amount, will be greatly appreciated and a help off the massive dentists bills as we try to get her beautiful smile back xx

Fixing Her Smile...

He said "if it helped one person then it was worth doing the video"

Proud as i am of him I am hoping to raise money for St Francis Hospice who were extremely helpful to my Dad over the course of the last 2 years.
Sadly as many of you know my Dad passed away on March 28th. 
On the 13th of June my Dad would have been 
62 years old
Which is......
744 months 
3224 Weeks 
22630 Days

So on Sat 13th of June I will
Run at least 13miles 21.1km 'Half marathon'
Cycle at least 62 miles '100km'
Rope slam at least 744 times 
Burn at least 3224 Calories
Lift a WTV 'weight total volume of at least 22,630kg in FIT. 

Its the least I can do as the work the staff do in St Francis Hospice on a daily basis is extraordinary.
Without them and the 24/7 care from my Mam my Dad would not have got the further 2 years as they pulled him out of a bad place mentally. He could easily have given up. 

Instead he fought and got to experience his and my mother's 60ths. 
Celebrated 40 amazing years married to the love of his life. 
Seen his nieces communion and then got to see my son Freddie being born.

Any donations would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you
