Defibrillator Donation
Samford Golden Valley Pony Club
While we were at the Samford Show we had the pleasure of donating a defibrillator package to a wonderful local community group, the Samford Golden Valley Pony Club.
SGVPC is one of the largest clubs in Qld, catering for both young and seniors riders. It was lovely to meet Anita and Caitlin and present them with the defib package. They were super grateful and appreciated the importance of having received this potentially lifesaving piece of equipment for their club.
Once again we thank the Broomhead Family for their incredible contribution to Team E's defibrillator rollout.

Defibrillator Donation
Toowoomba Bears Rugby Club
Team E was sensationally represented in Toowoomba by a very special supporter, 9 year old Cameron!
On behalf of the Foundation, Cameron beautifully presented our latest defibrillator package donation to the President of his Rugby Club, the Toowoomba Bears. What a little superstar he was!
The Toowoomba Bears is a fantastic community based club catering for juniors, teenagers, girls, women's and senior teams.
Our heartfelt thanks again to the Broomhead Family for helping us provide another well placed defibrillator to a deserving community group and to Cam for his awesome effort supporting Team E!
