THREE paramedics are putting their best feet forward when it comes to saving lives in the community.

Oliver Faulkner, Dean Gray and Hayley Mallinson, who work for the ambulance service in South East Cornwall, will be running the London Marathon in support of FLEET (the Front Line Emergency Equipment Trust).

The three aim to raise a total of £7500.

FLEET has already installed more than 150 Public Access Defibrillators (PADs) across Cornwall and will continue to provide more this year. The Trust’s aim is for every community to have easy access to a PAD.

Oliver, Dean and Hayley have been encouraged by a donation of £250 given by Viridor Credits. They hope that as many people as possible will visit their fundraising page - www.justgiving.com/teams/FLEETLONDON2018 - to find out more and support the appeal.

The Cornish Times its supporting the effort - we’ll be arranging a coffee morning and donations can be dropped off at our Liskeard office.
