New Defibrillator for the Ballincollig 5k parkrun!
Thanks to some Tesco Blue token campaigns and generous donations by runners, a new defibrillator has been bought for the 5k parkrun in Ballincollig!
The model purchased was a Zoll AED Plus which was in the region of €1,200.
Another local volunteer group, Ballincollig First Responders, have kindly offered to train 10 of the organisers of the local parkrun in its use.
The photo above shows Suzi Quirke and Maretta Brennan, co-Event Directors of Ballincollig parkrun with the Manager of Tesco Ballincollig.
Perhaps the organisers of other 5k parkruns might consider doing something similar?
