❤️ SUPPORT SUNDAY ❤️ | 3 WEEKS TO GO!
Stone, we need you...
In just 3 weeks, Jamie Richards MBE and Joe Dean will be lacing up their walking boots for the Jamie & Joe Lifesaving Challenge 2026 - a 20-mile walk around Stone with one very important mission:
❤️ Help keep Stone’s defibrillators ready to save lives.
On Friday 18th September, Jamie and Joe will:
🚶 Walk 20 miles around our hometown
❤️ Visit and check 50 public-access defibrillators
🔋 Help ensure the funding is in place to keep them rescue-ready for the next 12 months
And this isn't just about the walk.
Over the past year, AEDdonate has supported all 50 of these defibrillators - from funding and installation to maintenance, replacement pads, batteries, inspections and ongoing support.
Because putting a defibrillator on a wall is only the beginning.
It needs to be ready when someone needs it.
Last year's challenge received incredible support from the Stone community, helping us continue to protect our hometown.
This year, we're behind where we were at this point last year.
So today, on Support Sunday, we're asking Stone to get behind Jamie & Joe once again. ❤️
Whether it's £1, £5, £10 or whatever you can spare, every donation helps keep our local defibrillators ready for the moment they could make the difference between life and death.
👉 Please support Jamie & Joe's challenge today:

And if you live in Stone, work in Stone, run a business here, or simply care about our community…
Please share this post. ❤️
Because 20 miles is a long way to walk.
But helping protect the lives of the people in our town?
That's worth every single step. 💛
