At the Rotary Club’s Christmas Party in 2004 we met a young family that had just experienced a parent’s worst
nightmare. They had been called up during a normal work day to be advised their 10 year old son had just collapsed
at school. Luckily he survived and within 4 weeks had been diagnosed as having Long QT Syndrome.
The Club was able to present this young family with an external auto defibrillator following a recommendation from
the Children’s Hospital. It came as great comfort to this family that this $4600.00 unit had been provided by the
Rotary Club to act as guardian and safeguard the health of their loved one before they had had a chance to really
understand the ramifications of Long QT Syndrome.
