The ZOLL Heroes For Life program has been designed to raise awareness of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA), celebrate the survivors and recognise their unexpected heroes. Not only does this program help celebrate those involved in the events, it helps ensure more defibrillators are accessible in the public domain and gives the community a chance to recognise and celebrate the customer who originally purchased the life-saving device that helped save a life.

Celebrating the Survivors

As part of the Heroes For Life program, Sudden Cardiac Arrest survivors have the opportunity to pay it forward by donating a ZOLL AED Plus defibrillator to a charity of their choice*. Donating a life-saving device helps to highlight the need for more defibrillators in the public domain, and in the future it could help to save another life.

The program welcomes the opportunity of the local press getting involved to further highlight the need for more AEDs and will help the community to recognise the brave act the unexpected hero performed while saving a life. With the survivor's permission, they can be brought together with their hero and be provided with the opportunity to thank them.

FAQs

What if someone doesn't want to share their story?

No one is obligated to share their story, it is just an opportunity to being a part of helping us educate the importance of having a lifesaving defibrillator. 

 

Can I still recognise the heroes?

Of course! Those who stepped in to help or the end-user who invested in the defibrillator can always be recognised.

 

Can the survivors still get a donation?

Survivors can only get a defibrillator to donate if they are willing to share their story. It is a way to help educate others about the importance of CPR and having an AED.

 

What if we don't know who the EMS people are?

That's ok. You can recognise the people you do know were involved. The program is flexible and you can execute pieces of it independently of others.

 

*Please note: the donation of a ZOLL AED Plus is only possible if permission is granted to create a save story and market it.
