Washington Athletic Bayern is currently fundraising to purchase a life-saving portable Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to take to every football match they play. An AED is a crucial device that can deliver a shock to the heart in cases of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), potentially saving a life before professional medical help arrives.Having an AED close at hand is vital because SCA can happen without warning, and quick action is essential. The chances of survival decrease by about 10% with every minute that passes without defibrillation. With a portable AED, Washington Athletic Bayern can ensure they are prepared to respond immediately, protecting the health and safety of their players, coaches, and spectators.Your support in this fundraising effort could make all the difference in saving a life on the field.
Our young athletes play with heart, and we want to ensure their safety on the field. Having this lifesaving device on hand means we can respond quickly in an emergency, keeping our players safe during every match."
