Defibs for Dad: Family's Life-Saving Mission
3 Jan
Summary
- Family installs 50 defibrillators in rural communities.
- The initiative honors a father who died from cardiac arrest.
- More defibrillators are planned due to ongoing donations.
In a heartwarming tribute to a lost loved one, a family has successfully installed 50 life-saving defibrillators across rural communities. This significant milestone was reached through Morley's Defib Appeal, an initiative born from the tragic death of 45-year-old Billy Morley. He passed away in June 2024 from cardiac arrest in a venue lacking a defibrillator.
The appeal has made a substantial impact, particularly in Cumbria, where the 50th device was recently installed. The family's dedication continues, with plans already in motion to deploy 26 more defibrillators within the next week. This expansion is fueled by the generosity of donors who have rallied behind the cause.
William Morley, Billy's father, expressed his hope that his son would be proud of their efforts. He believes Billy, known for his compassionate nature, would wholeheartedly support their mission to equip communities with vital medical equipment and potentially save future lives.
