Lucky2bhere is a fundraising initiative set up by Skye Camanachd Chairman Ross Cowie. Ross suffers from cardio myopathy, a genetic heart condition.
In December 2006, Ross suffered a cardiac arrest. His life was saved, only by very quick response by local ambulance crews, doctors, nurses and helicopter paramedics who happened to be in the vicinity.
The aim of Lucky2bhere is to raise funds to help reduce response times, particularly in rural areas and hopefully to save lives. This includes the purchase of specialist equipment as well as the organisation and provision of relevant first responder training courses, such as CPR.
This is delivered in conjunction with the local ambulance service, nurses, doctors and the National charity First Response.
