I am getting ready for Hockey Heroes once again; an event to raise funds for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of New Brunswick. It is a hockey event, however the main purpose of the event is fundraising. Raising over $900,000 last year, and a goal of over a million dollars this year, for projects for the Heart & Stroke Foundation, including:
• increasing the number AED’s in public spaces and the awareness of the importance of them being available if a Heart attack occurs,
• running programs such as “Stroke Navigation” to help those who have suffered a stroke to find their way to recovery.
• Providing subsidized AED machines through grant programs
• Providing research Grants to New Brunswick researchers in the field of Heart and Stroke.

I am also the Treasurer of the Heart & Stroke Foundation of New Brunswick and know these funds stay in New Brunswick.

As an update to a project conducted last year by the H&S Foundation, which had been tasked by the Province of New Brunswick to set up AED’s in the remaining 29 schools in NB that still did not have them, this project was completed with surplus funds remaining which the Foundation approached the Province to use these funds to expand the program to further the initiative of getting AED machines into public places. Now there is a better chance there will be one available if you, or someone you knows is in need.
