HAVE YOU DONE OUR 3 STEPS FOR LIFE COURSE YET? IT'S FREE!

On 25 August our 3 Steps for life educator Geordie held a 3 steps course for the Turakina women's institute. The ladies generously donated $200 to St John Whanganui. We had a short interview with Geordie to ask him about how the course went.

Q: HI GEORDIE, SO WHERE DID YOU BRING OUR 3 STEPS FOR LIFE THIS TIME?

A: I was invited to Turakina school to share the course with the Turakina Women's Institute, they were holding a medical research meeting and were interested in hearing about what to do if they witnessed a cardiac arrest.

Q: WAS IT ANY DIFFERENT TO OTHER SESSIONS?

A: It definitely was, there was a great deal of prior knowledge and experience in the room around St John and some valuable firsthand experience of CPR and Cardiac arrest which I haven't experienced before.

Q: IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO SAY TO THAT PARTICULAR GROUP?

A: I would like to thank them for opening the doors to me and sharing their own valuable life experiences to allow me to better shape my session to their lifestyles. I greatly appreciated the excellent and interesting questions that the group put to me, somewhere not an easy answer.
I would like to extend a massive thank you to the Turakina Women's Institute as they have donated generous funds to St John in Whanganui and sent me away with a competition winning lemon loaf (which was delicious)

Q: WHY3 STEPS FOR LIFE IS SO IMPORTANT?

A: 3 STEPS FOR LIFE is so important and valuable in our community, over 2,500 people in Aotearoa suffered a cardiac arrest last year and over 80% were in their own homes. The more people that take the time to learn these basic lifesaving skills in our community, the better the likelihood of survival.

Q: ANYTHING YOU WISH TO ADD?

A: If you would like to join us on one of our Free 3 STEPS FOR LIFE sessions follow our page where we will advertise all public sessions

THANK YOU GEORDIE FOR YOUR WORK IN OUR COMMUNITY!
