BOLTON ICD SUPPORT

GROUP PRESENTS…

THE HEART OF BOLTON BALL

RAISING FUNDS FOR #DEFIBS4BOLTON

A big thank you to all our sponsors…

ABOUT US…ESTABLISHED IN 2006 THE BOLTON ICD (IMPLANTABLE CARDIAC DEFIBRILLATOR)

SUPPORT GROUP WAS FOUNDED TO SUPPORT PATIENTS AND THEIR

FAMILIES AFTER AN ICD IS IMPLANTED INTO A PATIENT. THE GROUP WAS

OFFICIALLY OPENED BY FORMER BOLTON WANDERERS MANAGER

SAM ALLARDYCE AND TEAM COACH SAMMY LEE.

OUR AIMS…

• TO PROVIDE A FORUM FOR ALL ICD PATIENTS, CARERS, FAMILIES AND FRIENDS TO DISCUSS THEIR CONCERNS AND

PROBLEMS AND SHARE EXPERIENCES.

• TO GUIDE PATIENTS TOWARDS A SUPPORT NETWORK THAT WILL ENABLE THEM TO ACCESS INFORMATION AND ADVICE.

• TO HELP ICD PATIENTS TO REGAIN THEIR CONFIDENCE AND MORALE WHEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS.

• TO PROVIDE LITERATURE AND INFORMATION ON ALL TOPICS WHICH ARE RELEVANT TO ICD PATIENTS.

WE HOLD SUPPORT GROUP MEETINGS 4 TIMES A YEAR FOR ICD PATIENTS, CARERS AND THEIR FAMILIES

#DEFIBS4BOLTONIN 2012 WE DECIDED TO SET UP OUR #DEFIBS4BOLTON CAMPAIGN

TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

WE RAISE FUNDS TO PURCHASE AUTOMATED EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATORS

(AED’S) FOR LOCAL SCHOOLS, SPORTS CLUBS AND COMMUNITY GROUPS

TO IMPROVE SURVIVAL RATES IN PATIENTS WHO SUFFER CARDIAC ARREST.

WE ALSO RAISE AWARENESS OF CPR, RECOGNISING CARDIAC ARREST

AND TEACH PEOPLE HOW TO HELP.

SINCE DECEMBER 2012 WE HAVE DONATED 32 DEFIBRILLATORS, OUR TABLE NAMES ARE PLACES WHERE WE HAVE DONATED DEFIBRILLATORS.

FACTS ABOUT CARDIAC ARREST…• SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST IS A FREQUENTLY MISUNDERSTOOD WORLDWIDE KILLER,

IT CAN AFFECT ANYONE, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME.

• IT KILLS MORE PEOPLE THAN LUNG AND BREAST CANCER

• EVERY YEAR IN THE UK 75,000 PEOPLE SUFFER A CARDIAC ARREST.

• IT STRIKES WITHOUT WARNING TAKING THE LIVES OF 250 PEOPLE A DAY IN THE UK

• EVERY WEEK IN THE UK AT LEAST 12 YOUNG PEOPLE DIE OF UNDIAGNOSED HEART CONDITIONS

• LESS THAN 5% OF IT’S VICTIMS IN THE UK SURVIVE

• DEFIBRILLATION IS THE ONLY TREATMENT AND DEFIBRILLATION WITHIN 3 MINUTES INCREASES THE CHANCE OF SURVIVAL TO OVER 70%
