Every Beat Matters: How St Ives FC Turned Tragedy Into Action

Every Beat Matters ❤️

In 2015, St Ives FC lost one of its own.

Club member Emin Rufati tragically suffered a cardiac arrest during an Over 35s match, leaving behind his wife and two children.

Determined that no other family should have to experience the same heartbreak, the club began fundraising for defibrillators. Just two years later, one of those defibrillators was used to save a teammate's life.

Now, St Ives FC President Lyle Hudson is backing Every Beat Matters, helping ensure more grassroots clubs across NSW have access to this life-saving equipment.

For just $5, you can help fund defibrillators for community football clubs while going in the draw to win a Toyota Corolla ZR Hatch, thanks to Toyota and St John Ambulance.

Every ticket sold could help save a life.
