Club Honors Lidia Connolly with Life-Saving Skills
18 Oct
Summary
- A teen died suddenly from a brain hemorrhage.
- Her club learned first aid in her memory.
- The event raised money for The Brain Charity.
Teammates of Lidia Connolly, a 19-year-old who tragically died suddenly from a brain hemorrhage in May, have participated in a first aid course to honor her memory. Lidia was described as the "life and soul" of the Young Gloves Karate club in Kidderminster.
The club organized a life-saving awareness event, equipping attendees with skills such as CPR and defibrillator usage. This initiative aims to spread awareness about the importance of first aid and its potential to save lives.
Founder Justin Thomas expressed the profound shock of losing Lidia at such a young age and advocated for regular first-aid instruction in all schools. The event, which also raised funds for The Brain Charity, was led by trainer Sam Tildesley.
