I Challenge You To Learn First Aid in 2010

Let me ask you this. If you found a child lying face down in a pool, would you know what to do?

If you said “No!”, then unfortunately you are not alone. In a report released in May 2007 it was shown that “Only 7% of Australians were confident to administer CPR or First Aid at the scene of a serious accident”

This is an appalling statistic, and here is another that I also found, “40% of all deaths in Children Under 5 are caused by DROWNING”.

Having two Nieces’ in this age bracket and my cousins son being just 3, I felt that it was time I used all the resources of my company to improve these statistics and if I save just one life, then it is all worthwhile.

My team and I decided that our company wouldn’t be a company that complains to the politicians to do something about this appalling situation. We are going to lead the charge and solve it ourselves … but with your help.

So here is my challenge to you.

 I, Christopher John Le Roy, Managing Director of the One-on-One Learning Centre hereby challenge 10,000 residents in the Townsville Region to become fully qualified in First Aid and CPR in 2010. I hereby name this challenge – First Aid Challenge 10,000 Townsville.

With your support and commitment we will realize our dream and bring those appalling statistics down.

Did you know that, “Statistics show that 80% of people, who render assistance in an emergency, will know the person in distress?” Do you have the skills to save a family member?

Will you take on my Challenge?

P.S Thank you from my team and I for supporting First Aid Challenge 10,000!
