All secondary schools in East Ayrshire have had defibrillators installed with the help of St John Scotland and fundraising by the family and friends of Laura Henderson, who tragically died of sudden cardiac arrest in 2021.
Laura, who was originally from Stewarton, was just 42 years old when she suffered a sudden cardiac arrest after a park run. People around her tried their best to help, but Laura never regained consciousness and passed away peacefully a few days later.
The Henderson family, Laura’s friends and her colleagues from Tennent’s Brewery in Glasgow began fundraising for public access defibrillators to create a lasting legacy in her name.
