BWHA U18A and U9A She Shoots She Saves Plays it Forward campaign
The U18A and U9 A Barrie Sharks She Shoots She Saves Plays it Forward’s fundraising campaign strives to bring awareness to the importance of public access AED by placing outdoor SaveStations at local community outdoor hockey rinks and parks. Each year in Canada there are approximately 60 000 out of hospital cardiac arrest events with only about a 10% survival rate. When a public access AED is available and administered within the first 4 minutes of a cardiac event the chance of survival is between 60-80%.
With less than 10 minutes to save a life from Sudden Cardiac Arrest, we all need the power to take action. Automatic External Defibrillators (or AEDs) are empowering the public to save lives - now AEDs can be found in SaveStations across the world - in our public spaces and communities - available 24/7!
Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is still one of the leading causes of death and can happen to anyone, anywhere and at any time. With greater access, education and awareness about AEDs we can make a huge difference!
Great cause!
