Gemma’s Hearts is a charity raising funds to provide 24 hour public defibrillator stations in North West Cambridgeshire. We also aim to help our local schools become heart safe schools by assisting them with fundraising for a defibrillator for their own building.
In December 2015 I began my fundraising journey. My six-year-old son had collapsed and doctors believed that his heart had stopped and restarted. I too suffer from a life-threatening heart condition called Long QT Syndrome, which might be inherited by my youngest son Bradley. I decided that I needed to do something to keep my son safe and very quickly helped raise enough money to provide his Farcet school with a defibrillator. From that day I decided to carry on and establish a non-profit charitable based organisation called Gemma’s Hearts. Our aim is to provide 24hr public defibrillator stations in North West Cambridgeshire so there will always be a defibrillator nearby in the event of a cardiac arrest. We also aim to help our local schools become heart safe schools by assisting them with fundraising for a defibrillator for their own building.
