Midhurst Randy Boyle Memorial SaveStation

Making our Community #CardiacSafe!

About My Campaign

Randy and I, and our two wonderful children Bailey and Teagan, spent many happy years in the quiet community of Midhurst just outside of Barrie. Throughout our time there, our friends grew to be more like family and they have always been (and continue to be) an amazing source of ongoing support and love.

Seven years ago, on February 5, 2014, Randy Boyle, our beloved Dad and husband was taken away by a heart attack and sudden cardiac arrest. Since then, as you may imagine, February - Heart Month has held a special meaning to us.

Cardiac arrest can happen at any time and as we learned, can impact even the fittest people. However, access to an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) can greatly increase the chances of survival. Every minute counts.

After school and after sporting events, our family and many others from the Midhurst community would congregate at what was then called the Midhurst General Store for ice cream. The store now is part of the building that houses Midhurst Physiotherapy and Pharmasave at 94 Finlay Mill Road.

In honour and in memory of our beloved Randy, we are giving back to the community by raising funds to install an outdoor SaveStation cabinet with a life-saving AED that will be available 24/7 at this location in Midhurst.

Our family is more than grateful to Carolyn and Craig Glover for agreeing to place the memorial AED on their premises and for their support of this lifesaving addition to the Midhurst community.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity.

Sharon, Bailey and Teagan.

UPDATE #1 Thursday 7pm: On behalf of Bailey, Teagan and myself we are overwhelmed and grateful for the generosity of our friends and family. Thank you for helping to keep Randy's memory alive. We would like to keep fundraising to place a 2nd SaveStation at another location dear to us.

UPDATE #2 Friday 10:00 am: Waking up this morning on often a difficult day, we are beyond touched by the response and generosity of our friends, family and community. We spent time last night discussing a second location and are planning on approaching the Midhurst Sports Complex where over the years we spent countless hours, as I'm sure many of you have. This would be an illuminated free standing tower - again in Randy's memory. Our hearts are full,

Sharon, Bailey and Teagan

Update #3: It's up!

AED #1 is up and is ready to save a life! A massive thank you again to everyone who has supported us in this project. We will be having the official dedication, and the Community awareness event when Bailey and Teagan are home in the spring. Also, stay tuned for details about the other 2 AED SaveStations that we will be able to place with your generous donations!

HUGE Thank You!

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated to this cause! Your love and support has been overwhelming in the best way, and we are so excited for the good that this will create! We also wanted to give an extra massive THANK YOU to the hockey team for your incredible donation. You all held such a special place in Randy's heart, and we know that he would be blown away by this amazing gesture!

We're fundraising to make this SaveStation, with a life-saving AED, accessible 24/7!

This SaveStation is clearly marked for public use and will be mounted on the side of Pharmasave in Midhurst to make sure that the AED inside is available 24/7 for anyone in the neighbourhood to access anytime of day or night. The technology built into this SaveStation allows for 24/7 monitoring of the AED to ensure it is always ‘ready for rescue’ and will take a picture when the cabinet is opened. This cabinet also keeps the AED warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Thank you to my Sponsors
