Emergency Services Hosts Annual Lifesaver Marathon: Free CPR Training and Community Safety Event
\n\n\n\nThe Talbot County Department of Emergency Services (DES) is excited to announce the return of the Lifesaver Marathon\, a free\, community-wide event dedicated to CPR training and lifesaving education. The event will take place on Friday\, February 28\, 2025\, and offer hands-on training in CPR\, Automated External Defibrillator (AED) use\, and other critical emergency response skills.
\n\n&ldquo\;We want to stress to the community that this is a completely free event\, and knowing CPR can truly make the difference between life and death\,&rdquo\; said Madison Loker\, Emergency Management Coordinator. &ldquo\;Whether at the grocery store\, the park\, or home\, these skills can save lives. We encourage everyone to attend and get involved.&rdquo\;
\n\nParticipants will have the opportunity to receive a Certificate of Completion (please note\, this is not an official CPR certification)\, tour Talbot County Emergency Service&rsquo\;s Ambulance Bus\, and interact with various community organizations offering outreach and educational opportunities. The Ambulance Bus\, the only one on the Eastern Shore\, can transport up to 12 patients at a time and will play a vital role in mass-casualty incidents.
\n\nIn addition to training\, the event will feature giveaways from local businesses. Every participant will receive a raffle ticket upon entry\, with opportunities to earn more by engaging with outreach tables and training sessions.
\n\n&ldquo\;We&rsquo\;re ramping things up this year with exciting new additions like the Ambulance Bus tour and community raffle\,&rdquo\; said Rachael Cox\, event coordinator. &ldquo\;This event is all about empowering our community with lifesaving knowledge in a fun and engaging way.&rdquo\;
