Hi my name is Chris I am fundraising to help pay for my surgery in France.

8 years ago my life changed for the worse I had sudden cardiac arrest and only for life saving CPR that am still here today. Since that day my life has been a roller coaster constantly in and out of hospital, I have an implanted ICD which is constantly having to keep my heart in check. I have a rare form of arrhythmia which after repeated attempts of fixing here in Ireland is still causing an issue. The final week before Christmas 2023 I suffered 5 cardiac arrests bringing the year total to 15 and that’s only since June, with 2024 already starting rocky as I have had 2 cardiac arrests the latest one just 5 days ago. All of this takes a huge toll on my body and not only affects me physically and mentally but also affects the ones I love around me as they have had to deal with it first hand whether I be in a shop or in the home. A year ago I lost my father he was only 62 it was a sudden cardiac arrest so it always in the back of my mind that if my ICD fails and nobody is with me I will go the same way. As a result I’m now needing to go to France for more aggressive and invasive treatment to try and correct the arrhythmia this will enable me to have a better quality of life. And hopefully will mean my medications will reduce and I will become less reliant on my ICD.

I also have revolut @chrisburr and can accept donations through there also.
