I was a bit
nervous as it was my first job as a CRY County Representative but my
daughter Lucy - who is a teacher, and who has a defibrillator fitted
- offered to come with me.
We were made very
welcome and soon set up our display. Pfizer employ a huge number of
young people and we were soon chatting happily to them and handing
out CRY leaflets.
A lot of them were
sporty and were not aware of the number of deaths every week of
people their age. One young lady in particular had been advised to
have a defibrillator fitted and was quite reassured when Lucy
chatted to her and she could see that it didn’t interfere with her
life.
For this reason
alone it was well worth going.
The organisers
said they would advertise the forthcoming screening event round the
building which is being held in Reigate on October 19th.
It was an ideal
opportunity to raise the profile of CRY and I would be pleased to do
it again.
