The Latest Mikey Network News

 

Here’s a touching update from one of the recipients of the Mikey Network Award at the Ryerson School Of Nutrition, Iana Mologuina.

The Mikey Network Awards are presented annually to students in the Nutrition and Food program at Ryerson University. They were established by The Mikey Network to provide financial assistance and recognize academic excellence and a commitment to the promotion of nutrition to prevent chronic heart diseases. You can learn more about Iana and read her thank you message below.

We saw the most amazing tweets on Twitter this week:

This brave little guy received a MIKEY defibrillator through our Mikey’s Kids program. Through this program, families whose children are at high risk of Sudden Cardiac Arrest are provided with a MIKEY, a portable automated external defibrillator (AED), to carry with them at all times so their kids are protected at home.

With our help, and the help of some great organizations, Archer’s family can rest at ease, knowing that help is close at hand.

The West Toronto Lawn Bowling Club was the 3rd recipient of MIKEY defibrillator thanks to the joint programme between The Mikey Network, Heaven Can Wait Emergency First Aid Training and The Toronto Academy of Dentistry. This partnership helps to place AEDs in the community.

This location was chosen by The Toronto Academy of Dentistry (Toronto West Society) and was generously donated by Heaven Can Wait Emergency First Aid Training. The members of the club will also receive CPR and AED training.

The previous recipients through this joint programme were the Cummer Avenue United Church in North York, Ontario and Ronald McDonald House in Toronto, Ontario. A fourth donation will be announced in the near future.

Mikey Network Chairman Hugh Heron and President Eva Szypulska were on REAL ESTATE TALK SHOW this past weekend. They were interviewed by hosts Erin McCoy and Simon Giannini.

Hugh and Eva talked all about The Mikey Network and our mission to place MIKEY automatic external defibrillators in high-risk public spaces to give those who suffer sudden cardiac arrest a second chance at life. The show aired on Corus radio stations in Toronto, Orillia/Muskoka and South Georgian Bay.

David Goodman, CEO of Heaven Can Wait Emergency First Aid Training, and his assistant Madison Reilly show off a MIKEY defibrillator purchased through a joint programme between the Toronto Academy of Dentistry, Heaven Can Wait Emergency First Aid Training and The Mikey Network.

Through this programme MIKEY defibrillators are purchased and donated to public facilities throughout the GTA, and their staff members trained to use them. The goal is to provide TAD members the means to give a second chance at life to those who suffer sudden cardiac arrest. To date, four MIKEYs have been placed through this program.

Heaven Can Wait works to educate and empower the public through the teachings of lifesaving First Aid and CPR skills.
