On Wednesday 22 May 2013, Managers from the Halewood Junior Football League presented a defibrillator for use at the Junior Leagues games, as well as for use of the other user groups at the Arncliffe Sports & Community Centre.
To recognise the awareness campaign of the OK Foundation, which was set up following the death of Oliver King, a pupil at King David High School as a result of Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (S.A.D.S) whilst having a swimming lesson. The aim of the Foundation is to see the installation of a defibrillator in all public buildings.
Cllr Edna Finneran, Mayor of Halewood said, The Town Council congratulate the managers concerned who took part in the sponsored walk from Liverpool to Southport. They raised the funding for this important piece of equipment to be used by the Junior League, (who have up to 1,000 children taking part of a weekend), and also for other user groups at the Arncliffe Centre.
The Managers are pictured presenting the defibrillator to the Mayor and her fellow Town Councillors at the mid-week Junior Summer League along with Halewood Town Under 8’s.
The sponsored walk was organised by one of the team managers, Simon Clifton, and the other managers who took part are Lee Campbell, John Ross, Ian Yoxall, Phil Allen, John Fearon, Scott Hendry, Dave Barr, Billy Bradley and Andy Strachlis.
