Thanks for visiting my JustGiving Page!  I'm running the Bristol Half Marathon and the York MARATHON (eeeek - 26.2 miles!)  for Streetdoctors - a fab charity I'm part of in Bristol but that works across the country. 

VIOLENCE IS THE THIRD LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN EUROPE. SOME OF THESE DEATHS HAPPEN BECAUSE THE PEOPLE PRESENT DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO; THEY PANIC AND DON’T CALL FOR HELP. TEACHING THESE YOUNG PEOPLE TO CALL 999 AND EFFECTIVELY DELIVER SIMPLE FIRST AID CAN AND DOES SAVE LIVES. BUT BY HIGHLIGHTING THE DEATH AND SIGNIFICANT INJURY ASSOCIATED WITH VIOLENT CRIME, WE ALSO HELP TO DISCOURAGE YOUNG PEOPLE FROM CARRYING WEAPONS IN THE FIRST PLACE.

StreetDoctors have taught over 2000 young people life saving first aid skills.

We know of three cases of young people using our teaching to deliver life-saving first aid and actually saving lives – on two occasions when someone was stabbed and on a third occasion a young man delivered CPR to his uncle who survived an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

It would be great if you could donate and share my Page so I can raise as much as possible to help them teach live-saving skils to young people to educate and empower. Thank you.
