At The Mikey Network, we love what we do. It’s exciting. Every time we place a new MIKEY defibrillator and every time

one of those MIKEYs saves a life, our own hearts beat a little bit faster.

To date, over 1,900 MIKEY defibrillators have been placed. More importantly, those MIKEYs have been instrumental in saving 31 lives, ranging in age from 3 months to 72 years old.

DOCTOR APPROVED!A family physician here in Toronto recently sent praises to , for equipping their entire fleet of moving vehicles with MIKEY defibrillators.

It’s great to know our efforts are appreciated by the medical community…

To: Two Men and a Truck

I am a family physician in Toronto and was looking at the Mikey (defibrillator) website for

something and saw that your company has defibrillators in the trucks and the drivers were

trained in how to use them.

I HAD to write to tell you that is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

Doctors use an expression, “time is muscle”, meaning the longer a person is “out”, the more

heart muscle dies, so seconds/minutes count. Even if one of your defibrillators is used

only once, if it saves a parent from severe disability (prolonged irregular heartbeats or heart

attacks can cause enough heart muscle damage to result in a person become short of breath

just doing up shirt buttons….for the rest of their life), the ripple effect is HUGE. If helped early

enough, the person can return to work in a short while, and that can mean they don’t lose

their house. The two daughters of the patient WILL have their dad at their wedding, and hold

their first born children. And so on….

Seconds count.

Thank you for joining the team of medical providers - it is an incredible public service - that

may even save one of your own employees one day.

Kudos to you all!!!!!! :)

Respectfully,

As one of The Heron Group of Companies, Heathwood Homes was instrumental in founding The Mikey Network.

When Heathwood launched its latest community Meadowgreen, the company wanted to bring together its passion for homebuilding with its heartfelt commitment to The Mikey Network.

Everyone who purchased a home at Meadowgreen had a MIKEY defibrillator

donated to a local school in the Peel District school system, with a plaque in the school recognizing their life-saving contribution.

They say home is where the heart is… and Heathwood is demonstrating that in every new community it builds!

GIVING BACK

Meet a Mikey

The Mikey Young At Heart App is awesome!

It has given me the confidence and skills to do CPR

and use a MIKEY defibrillator without being nervous.

The instructional videos are quite short and the

quizzes are easy.

Once I downloaded the app, it kept track of all my

volunteer hours in one place, and without the hassle of

me trying to find a volunteer position somewhere else.

The Mikey Young At Heart App is an amazing tool for

all high school students looking to earn their volunteer

hours, learn life-saving skills, and shine light on a great

cause. The Mikey Network has put an amazing

program right at our fingertips.

IN SCHOOLS ACROSS PEEL

Among our many goals, The Mikey Network has committed to placing a MIKEY in each of the 260 public schools in Peel Region.

Having MIKEY defibrillators in schools can potentially save the lives of students, staff, visiting parents and community members.

ANOTHER LIFE SAVED BY A MIKEY!When we put a MIKEY in a school, it’s not just a student or staff member whose life we might save.

On the evening of January 15, 2016, in one

of the gyms at Agincourt High School, a

72 year old man collapsed between

badminton games and went into

cardiac arrest. Luckily, a MIKEY

defibrillator was on hand.

Bystanders applied the MIKEY and

began CPR. The Fire Department

and Advanced Care Paramedic crew

arrived and continued compressions.

At the end of 2 minutes of CPR, a

pulse was detected. OUR LATEST

MIKEY SAVE IS DOING WELL. He says

he is happy to be alive and is thankful for those

who helped him.

This MIKEY was placed at the school as part of our Mikey Young at Heart Program.

To date, 31 LIVES HAVE BEEN SAVED BY A MIKEY! That’s why it’s so important to

place MIKEYs in as many public places as possible. We want to make sure this life-saving

device is available whenever the need might arise.

WE ARE KEEPING KIDS SMILING!To be told that your child could collapse and die without warning is overwhelming. To be unable to prevent it is even worse.

Parents are finding comfort in knowing that The Mikey’s Kids program provides portable MIKEYs so their children can do all the fun things their friends do. Mikey’s Kids can go on vacation, go to the cottage and enjoy day trips, knowing that their MIKEY is going with them!

To date, The Mikey Network has provided MIKEY defibrillators to over 200 KIDS and their families. The peace of mind that these MIKEYs provide is absolutely priceless – with moms and dads knowing that should their child’s heart skip a beat, life-saving help is close at hand.

HEART FELT THANKSThe Mikey Network extends our deepest gratitude to the sponsors who have donated their time, services and free ad space/airtime to help spread the word about the new Mikey Young at Heart App. Your generosity will help give people a second chance at life, and provide life-saving skills to a new generation of Canadians!
