I'm fundraising for an AED in Googong!

Already raised enough for one in QBN and Jerrabomberra. I'm now going for one in Googong.

Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) can increase survival rates. I am here today because of the quick actions of those around me and the use of an AED.

Cardiac arrest is a critical medical emergency affecting over 32,000 Australians a year, with only 10% surviving.  At some point in your life, you or someone you love might need an AED.

My Updates

I was the 1 in 10

Monday 3rd Nov
Only 1 in 10 Australians will survive an out of hospital cardiac arrest. I was that 1 in 10.

My name is Rory and I live in Queanbeyan. July 29 while playing my first game of social basketball I collapsed from a cardiac arrest.

Thankfully I was in a place where people quickly started CPR and used an AED on me.

I am alive today because of those two things and am advocating for more public AEDs as well as encouraging more to learn CPR.

Thanks to everyone who donated. We are getting an AED for Queanbeyan and now working to get one for Jerra. Please help by giving or sharing my page.

Thank you to my Sponsors

So glad you had people around you that were in a position to help. We can all play a part in saving the life of another human- some of that is about having the courage and composure to deal with a difficult situation and some of it is about having the equipment that allows us to do that. So glad that you are here to share your story and help increase the survival rate for others.
