Killarney

<h3>The mighty power of the Killarney Advertiser has helped HeartBeat Killarney purchase a new Automated External Defibrillator.</h3>
In recent weeks the Killarney Advertiser promoted HeartBeat&rsquo;s &lsquo;Rid and Bid&rsquo; fundraiser. Killarney&rsquo;s favourite read also promoted the presence of practice nurse Anna O&rsquo;Donoghue free blood pressure checks at the recent event.
Both events attracted a large attendance &ndash; in a socially distanced manner &ndash; and allowed HeartBeat Killarney to purchase a new AED.
&ldquo;The Killarney Advertiser certainly helped to get people along to the event and we are all well pleased as we can now buy a portable AED as a result,&rdquo; said HeartBeat&rsquo;s Billy O&rsquo;Sullivan.
HeartBeat are planning a series of clinics and roadshow style events in the New Year. Most of the group&rsquo;s volunteers are former cardiac patients and are at a high risk of heart failure.
The purchase of the new portable AED will help keep volunteers safe while on these external events.
&ldquo;These events are in the pipeline once COVID eases,&rdquo; added Billy.
&rdquo;We will be able to carry this AED with us wherever we run an event.&rdquo;
