As most people are aware my dad, Steven Maclachlan suffered from a cardiac arrest on Saturday while reffing a game of shinty at Castle Leod. I would like to express a massive thank you to both Caberfeidh Shinty Club and Kinlochsheil Shinty club for everything they did that day to save my dad’s life. A special thank you to Conor & Keith who acted fast and preformed CPR & used the defibrillator and everyone else who formed a shield round my dad to give him the privacy to get work done. Without their amazing input my dad’s life would have ended at 15:13pm on Saturday for a lot longer than the few minutes it already did.

Without the amazing defibrillator provided by Lucky2BHere based at Castle Leod things would have been very different story. Without the use of the defibrillator within the first 4 minutes of a cardiac arrest it is the difference between life and death. I can’t express the importance of having this equipment accessible in local areas especially areas that are more rural.

As a family we would like to give back to this amazing charity by raising funds to allow more defibrillators to be accessible. This will ensure the safety of everyone in the wider public.

We will also be training with Pam at Lucky2BHere to be shown how to provide training on how to use the defibrillators, which is just as important as the equipment.

If you can help us make this happen by donating or sharing this post we will be so grateful.
