MISSEDABEAT would like thank all the ladies/girls who took part in the charity Netball tournament more than 140 took part and close to 200 people attended, the work that has gone into organizing this event from all involved is quite extraordinary and could not have been pulled together without the hard work and dedication from Yasmin, Jenna, Leanne and Ruth and many many more !
Back in April, unfortunately the ladies had to make the difficult decision to postpone the tournament due to heavy rain and the courts becoming incredibly slippy/dangerous once wet but undeterred the ladies pulled the event off and raised vital funds needed to support MISSEDABEAT
Brilliant day yesterday at Longfield for our Missed A Beat - Netball Tournament
We raised over £1700 yesterday and all for a very worthy cause
Thank you to everyone who came to support & to the umpires for their commitment to the day.
Thank you also to Becci & Leanne for the baking Ruth on the fixtures and score table, Julie, Jennie & Ashleigh for the raffle selling.
Yasmin,Jenna and Leanne are so so pleased with how the day went and the money that has been raised.
Women are half as likely to receive defibrillation during cardiac arrest. Probably because of our breasts
It was revealed that our chances of getting CPR in a public emergency are shockingly gender-biased. While 54% of people in public cardiac arrests got CPR, women were significantly less likely to be helped.
Even more chilling? With every decade we age, women are 3% less likely to receive resuscitation efforts. For men, this number is almost triple at 9%. It’s like a real-life horror story.
“We know there may be some reasons why bystanders may not perform defibrillation on women but it is critical that we address these issues as they could mean the difference between life and death.”
Only five per cent of women who had an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in 2020-2021 received defibrillation from a bystander, compared with 10 per cent of men.
Researchers said these findings might be due to bystanders feeling uncomfortable about undressing and exposing the breasts of women who are suffering from a cardiac arrest and require defibrillation.

We would like to give a huge thanks you to all the umpires today too,they kindly gave up their time for free and we couldn’t of ran the tournament without them
The ladies have expressed that they are looking to make this an annual event and help raise more awareness around the stigma around females receiving defibrillation during cardiac arrest and the need for more defibrillators to be readily available.
