Carmel, IN Bolt for the Heart has joined the Bethany Legacy Foundation in their very large commitment to placing 154 AEDs into Jefferson County. These life-saving devices will be placed in county schools, Jefferson County Sheriff and Madison City police patrol cars. AED’s (automated external defibrillators) are used to restart the heart after someone suffers from a sudden cardiac arrest (the stopping of the heart).
“This is such a generous donation by the Bethany Legacy Foundation. Bethany Legacy Foundation understands the importance of being prepared and ready in the event of a sudden cardiac arrest and in keeping the people safe in Madison. Jefferson County may be the first County in Indiana to have an AED in every school, city park, Sheriff and Police patrol cars. We at Bolt for the Heart cannot thank the Bethany Legacy Foundation enough for their generous and meaning investment in the community.” Pierre Twer, President of Bolt for the Heart.
Bolt for the Heart, a not-for-profit charitable organization based in Carmel, IN donated 9 AEDs of this total specifically to the Jefferson County Sheriff and Madison Police Department. Police patrol cars are often the first vehicle to a cardiac event and by placing these savings devices in their hands creates the best potential for saving someone’s life.
The Bethany Legacy Foundation, based in Madison, Indiana is a non-profit group determined to create environments that promote well-being for everyone in Jefferson County. They care about inventing new solutions that tackle mental, physical health, challenges, creating a brighter future for all.
Bolt for the Heart’s mission is to save lives by education, financial assistance, and direct support in placing lifesaving AEDs into the hands of our Law-enforcement Heroes.
