Brantingham, NY- The Black River
Valley Four Wheeler Club, Inc., Brantingham, NY,
has generously purchased a Public Access Defibrillation (PAD) to ensure
that Automatic External Defibrillators (AED) are immediately available for
use by lay bystanders when and where they are needed.
The Automatic
External Defibrillator (AED) is stored at the RAVEN ACRES Campground at
7346 Brantingham RD, Brantingham NY. It's located on the wall in front of
you as you enter the office building. Please spread the word! It could save
someone's life!
This was done in
sponsorship with the Larry Virkler Defibrillator fund that has assisted in
putting out over 90 AED’s in the county. We hope
no one ever needs this, but in case you do it’s there for the community
24/7. Always call 911 in an emergency telling the dispatcher your location
and the nature of the call.
Knowing how to do
CPR and using an AED is incredibly important. Using cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillator (AED) within
minutes of cardiac arrest can dramatically improve survival rates.
The Brantingham
Club, Inc., in partnership with the Brantingham Snowmobile Club, Inc. and
Brantingham Community Association, Inc., will sponsor a CPR and AED
training course in 2025 for those that want to be trained. The club thanks
the Virkler family and the Larry Virkler defibrillator fund, and RAVEN
ACRES owner Mike Dolhof. Anyone interested in
donating to the fund to help purchase other AEDs in any area, can do so on
their go fund me page, 2025 Virkler Defibrillator fund, organization Larry
Virkler Memorial defibrillator fund.
