Lobster Pot donates AED to Island Montessori


(Grand
Cayman, June 24, 2019) Lobster
Pot owner, Marcus Cumber recently purchased and donated a HeartSine
360P AED from the Cayman Heart Fund. The AED was purchased for Island
Montessori School.  Mr. Cumber expressed concern that cardiac
arrest is one of Cayman’s worst life-threatening medical
emergencies and wanted the school to be prepared in a cardiac event. 


The
Owner/Principal of Island Montessori, Clare Thorpe, said, “they are
so grateful for the support of Marcus Cumber and Lobster Pot
restaurant for donating an AED in their school. Although they hope
never to have to use it, it is comforting to know that it is
available for the staff to use as they are crucial in an emergency.”
 


Coordinator
for the Cayman Heart Fund, Angelique Bodden, applauded Mr. Cumber for
donating the AED to the school but also expressed the importance of
learning CPR and first aid training. She welcomes the community to
contact her for CPR and First Aid Training information.
