A life has been saved in Teignmouth.
A team of rowers, were taking part in the Teignmouth gig Regatta near Eastcliffe, when one of the rowers, Colin Beck, had heart failure.
Luckily, another person in the boat knew how to do CPR and used this until they got to shore.
The defib' at Eastcliffe was used twice on him whilst they waited for an ambulance. The young man was in his 30s and is extremely lucky. Well done gig rowers for saving his life.
Although we have never met Colin we are delighted that our Community Defibrillator unit, situated outside the Yacht club at Teignmouth, was on hand to get his heart restarted.
The relevant press cuttings will be put into the photograph section of this blogsite (when I get someone to do it for me!)
