Treasure hunt raised funds for defibrillator charity      6/11/14

 

A treasure hunt organised for the British Heart Foundation has raised £348.

Nearly 200 people followed the clues relating to heart health. The money raised was donated to Lucky2BHere – a  charity that provides defibrillators, and other life saving equipment and training to both the general public and health professionals.

Tony Wade, sports facilities services manager at CNES, said: “I am delighted to accept this donation on behalf of ’Lucky2Bhere.’

“Thanks to its support, we now have defibrillators at all Comhairle sports facilities and the Nicolson Institute, the largest school in the Outer Hebrides.

“We are working to increase access to both the machines and training in communities close to these buildings – similar to the great work that has already been undertaken in Harris.
